Expenditure Information

This page is where you can find information on what has been spent on this project to date. I built this section in order to find out what the ultimate cost of building the aircraft will ultimately be. While I've done alot of research to this end, one really doesn't know until it's all done. Regardless, I hope this information will be of use to others who are condsidering building one of these fine birds.

One thing to consider is that the costs here reflect only purchases made from the point of deciding to build the plane. My workshop was already equipped with most common tools (and even some uncommon ones), however, I had absolutely nothing as far as tools specifically aimed at working with composites. Things like respirators, etc. are included in the costs below, but other things like wrenches, scissors, exacto knives, etc. are NOT included because you would find these items commonly in a workshop.
