I'm writing an article for Kitplanes magazine about financing for homebuilts. Has anyone had any experience in financing yourGlasair/GlaStar (or other plane that you've built), and would you care to share that experience? Also, if you've had the experience of financing an already-completed homebuilt, I would love to hear from you as well. Thanks so much! If you care to contact me off-list, my email address is cory@lightspeededit.com. My "list" email address is bootless@earthlink.net.

I financed my Gl2 on a home equity loan and credit card. I was able to pay off the credit card balance when I sold the plane I owned during the construction of my Glasair. I completed my plane in 1991 and had a total of $51,000 in it. Over the years I upgraded the instruments and radios. In 1996 I stripped the paint off and had the plane professionally painted. The interior was done over. I had the fuel injection rebuilt and put on a set of slick mags. Now I have around $80,000 in the plane. -----Original Message----- From: Cory Emberson Subject: Glasair-List: Has Anyone Financed a Glasair? --> Glasair-List message posted by: "Cory Emberson" Hello!
