Okay, I'll fess up.... I've got tons of "Spare Parts" (I've already given
away starters, carbs, ASI's, ELT's, Circuit breakers, etc... for free and
still have some left {lots of circuit breakers}). But I've also got a
Lycoming O-320 D1A with only 200 hours TTSN (total time since new) comes
with Slick-Mags, Precision-Carb, fuel pump from the factory. It is
currently "pickled" in Aero-Shell preservative oil with desiccant plugs
(Coalinga, Cal. is very dry, but just being careful) and is stored in my
hanger. Asking price is $16-k, new it cost over $23-k, and I think the
current prices are even higher. I haven't advertised it anywhere yet
because I wasn't in a hurry to sell it, but with the weather improving ( my
wife not liking me spending $$ on my current plane), I may put it in
Trade-a-Plane and/or on EBAY soon.

I bought my 1500 hr O320 for $6000 complete including shipping, and the
prop was used but never flow for $450 I think...
One thing I can say about building on a budget is that it is very easy to
keep it light, and man do these things fly nice when they are light!

Very true Scott, I found my "midtime first overhaul" O-360 in a old
friends
hangar for 4k! Some instruments from similar sources and a radio from a
destroyed
Cherokee. The radio was in need of resurrection but I can do that stuff
myself.
My RV6 came in just under 30k and of course I've put another 6-7k worth of
goodies into it since but 29,000+ gave me a fantastic full panel airplane.
And the only thing that I paid anyone else to do for me was sewing the
seat
cushions. I only had one skin of leather and I'm a 50% waste kind of
upholsterer!

I have noticed several builders have mentioned the cost of building.
Some
are in the low 30k range others in the low 20 range!!!! I think we need
to
document how this is done. Here is what little I can add:
I have found that there is real network of people at airports and the
more
of them you know the cheaper you can build a plane. For example I have
seen
hundreds of instruments in various hangers which I knowt hey would just
about give away. So what I am saying is who you know can make a BIG
difference in the cost of building.
Anyone else?
