The cost advantage was plans vs kit cost, and my entire bird cost less than the Vans basic kit. Your Velocity kit may not have that advantage. I was living in an apartment where I built in a spare bedroom, so riviting was not a welcome idea. The epoxy was not a problem, and finishing was not a big deal. I was not a pilot yet, and past 50 yrs old, so I need a forgiving bird, and am very happy with the canard. I hope that you will rethink the RG option. That fixed gear is so wonderful.
