Questions I have are following: Is the carbon fiber kit worth the extra cost? Does it make sense buying a partially completed kit, or are there pitfalls to look out for? Should the need arise, hopefully it never will, what is the resale value of a completed and flying aircraft? (percentagewise of money put into project) What things should be considered before buying a kit that are often overlooked? I realize that these questions are rather general, but I haven't completely made up my mind yet and would like to get opinions from people who have "been there, and done that". I have a Commercial pilot's license and an instrument rating. Most of my 800+ hours are on an IFR flight plan going cross-country. (work and pleasure) I plan on equipping my plane for IFR. Any advice you guys could give would be most appreciated. Also if any of you are near me and wouldn't mind showing me your project/airplane, I would be very interested.
