I usually end up selling them for about 1/3 of what they cost me to build, but I love to build.I built a Challenger a few years ago. Ended up putting an electric motor in it and gave it away. Most people say that my airplanes, though a bit heavy fly very well. I have a Pike T28 for next winter, and I`m looking very hard at building another Challenger as well. I may colaberate with another club member on it. He buy, me build, and he owns
Amazing. I like to build too, but I like to fly as well. Few people asked me to build a plane for them, but I can't afford to do it from my own budget, even if you count say 3 dollars per hour, it's an embarrassing price. Lucky people that have you around.
