Howdy,

I want to buy a kit plane, but I don't want to have the manufacturer fold in
the time between payment and delivery. Is there any way to prevent the risk
falling entirely on my shoulders? How about an escrow arrangement? Any ideas
would be appreciated.

thanks,
tom pettit

Consider building from plans. Lowe's and Home Depot are likely gonna
be around a while.... :-)
