buy a piece at at a time save up enough for a DA50 then save up for the air frame...
I hate to stir the sensitive and loyal DA "pot" but if money is an issue, I don't think I would recommend the most expensive engine, and maybe buy the engine last, how many of you bought a DA-50 just for this airplane, and then by the time your airplane was here, your brand new engine was already "outdated" and several "mods" behind the current versions! ?
Save the money, have your parents invest it or something (or just hide it from you) and then buy it all at once, and get the latest and greatest of everything (within reason)
