From my perspective the cost of an aircraft is related as the purpose you have in mind. If your desired aircraft is to avoid the hassle of commercial air travel, then the cost is in the millions. On the other hand, if the purpose is the simply challenge and enjoyment of flying is isn't much more expensive the a good modern snowmobile. For me, it is the challenge; and, joy of flying and maintaining/improving my bird. ( I have long ago abandoned the idea of using a an aircraft for transportation.) I have left the "power community" and focused on soaring. I fly 40 year old homebuilt technology and find pleasure in every minute I am in the air. http://www.soaridaho.com/Flights/6F_Gold_Distance.html http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/HP-14/N990/N990.html http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder What does something like this cost? http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder/Tr...ding_Post.html It is a lot of enjoyment for the dollar!!!
