This is a beautiful airplane. The only way I could afford one is to be able to buy it in kit form. I like to build, I prefer painting my own airplanes, and for me being able to buy in stages is the only way I can do it.
ie: airframe kit
Landing gear
Tanks and pipe
I would likely try to purchase these at once but often the dollar committment in having to purchase at once is a huge mental block for me. That and it's much more difficult for me to save the full amount for an all at once purchase vs buying in stages.
I will likely never buy a pnp jet as the up front costs just feel unreachable to me. I'm sure in some cases it's cheaper in the long run although I also don't want to pay for labor I can do myself.
