That's my dream. Thanks for the picture. I'll have to buy one already built after I win the lottery. The MiniMax at 316lbs is more in my price range.

It's more affordable than you think! How's 24K (excluding engine) for the kit sound? That's the quick-build version (cuts build time in half). Full kit is only around 15K.

Very reasonable. Figure 45-68K ready to fly...you can spread that out over years!

I saw one of those MiniMax planes fly at an EAA airshow. I was very impressed. Only drawback is one seat...more fun to fly with friends. :-)

What engine are you considering?

I was talking to a guy awhile back who was building an amphib and his plan was to put in an engine that used standard gasoline. Is that rare in the home-built world?
