I'm New Here
I am realizing that buying a family plane is infeasible in the short term and also won't be utilized to the extent that buying makes sense. As such, I am debating building an RV-8 for mostly the build project aspect and we can rent as we need for family trips, which have yet to materialize anyway. This will always be the fun, tail-dragger, aero machine I can have fun in, and down the line I can buy an A36 to take trips in as needed. I am wondering if it is financially advantageous to purchase the whole QB kit at once, or if it is the same/marginally more expensive to purchase the kits individually as I go (bundling for freight, etc)? Also, the wife is completely antagonistic against my building an airplane given my career as a future airline pilot and part-time military reservist, in spite of my insistence that this is a project I am willing to spread out over 5 years... She's concerned about how much time it would take me away from the family, while I insist it would be a great project to involve the kids in... anyway, I appreciate any input anyone has for my potential future plans.
