In 1976 a new Lycoming 0 360 was $4000 outright. Adjusted for inflation that should be $22,200 today. Instead the price is around $55k.?Hartzell is WAY worse. The money grubbing crooks who bought

Re: Tailwinds for sale
and the fact is you don't have to suffer the indignity to buy a builders award at Oshkosh either. I always look back to the 1950's, divide the dollar amount by 22 too get the actual cost. Farmer John

Re: Tailwinds for sale
Two years ago when I finished mine, I figured the cost to complete a Tailwind at about $55K.? About $15K for the airframe and $40K for engine, prop, paint and avionics.? Costs have gone up since

I surveyed six mostly older RV's, prices ranged from 59.5K to 130K. W10 prices are way too low. The Schultz airplane now has an asking price approximately the same as the value of the engine and prop
