Yeah, but you don't see too many RVs sitting tied out on the ramp (unless they are on a cross-country). People who put that much money and effort into an airplane are very likely to have or find a

Don, You are not far from the truth. I was working at Sonex when they decided to start offering quick build kits. Their standard kits were pretty nice, but they were wrestling with whether not to take

Tailwinds are great, but you can park an RV on the tie-downs forever. Difference between hangar rental and tie-downs adds up pretty fast, and in many parts of the country all the hangars are filled

IO-390 Lycoming which seems to be popular with RV8 and RV14 builders is $91-97K depending on exact configuration.?Completed airplanes have asking prices well over $200k.
