When you do that Google search, search newsgroups. It doesn't look
especially appealing.

I haven't glanced at their website in a couple of years, it doesn't look
too appealing to me.

There was one thing in their FAQ that made me giggle:

"What is the resale value of an Affordaplane?

Answer: We have had offers for the prototype, upwards of $6,000. But we
really don't know, because of all the ones that have been built and
flown, their owners don't want to let go of them! That's why you don't
see many A-Planes for sale in the public marketplace. Many of our
customers decide to build another one, so they can fly with their
friends and family! Many EAA chapters build two at once. "


I would be curious how many customers have built two of these planes and
what EAA chapters he's talking about.

It might have turned into a nice little plane, but I have a big problem
with a designer selling plans and kits before his prototype has flown,
let alone flown off its hours, let alone flown 100-500 hours.

Kinda reminds me of Dreamwings on budget.
