Cost of Airframe Kits (everything ready to fly except the engine and avionics/communication system)
RV-12 $23,785
CH-650 $19,500
Sonex $17,195
I tried to compare apples to apples but maybe someone can point out to me that I errored. In all my investigations I assumed that the Sonex was so much cheaper than the other 2 but there is only a $6600 difference between the most expensive (RV-12) and the cheapest (Sonex). Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you get a lot more airplane with the RV-12 and CH-650 and they aren't that much more expensive.
