| Subject: | How much is your 601 costing to build? |
I thought I would see what everyone's expectations are on cost to build a
601XL.
I am sitting on $40,199.00 with about 5k to go. My kit is complete, and I
am working on the engine. I bought my kit in component packages.
I am using a Corvair, which is relatively inexpensive to the other options
out there. about $8k for the motor (built by someone else) and 3-4k more on
FWF.
Avionics are probably the largest option, I have a used Garmin 430/330/430
stack and a MGL Enigma EFIS that adds just over $10k to my base.
I am sure those of you who scratch build are going to be way below this
price, and the QB croud will be slightly higher.

PS. This does not include shop tools, except for the tools from Zenith that
I purchased with my Rudder kit, and a $200 crimper for avionics.

Jon-
I'm in the high 30s with all the major things but GPS, prop and spinner.
Homebuilt Corvair with yellow tagged MA3-SPA, brand new D-100, used steam
gauge backups, used King TXR and brand new ICOM A200. Don't even think about
tool expense. Between my garangar and tools, add $20K. Feces occurs.

I'm about 21,000 for the airframe and the rests puts me about 35,000 plus total.
I went with a O-200 that is used, hand held radio that is hard wired to the
panel, dynon D100 and steam gages for rest and a used hand held Lawrence GPS.
I also used the component kits from Zenith. Right now I'm waiting on insurance
so I can take it to the airport. I put every option I could on the airframe,
electric trim pitch and roll, four fuel tanks and baggage lockers with dual
sticks.
My wife calls it the MISTRESS, and it sure cost like one.
