Any plans-built "RV equivalents" out there?

I bet if you look again, the Mustang II kit will be significantly less
costly than the other brand. About the same build time. And there aren't
thousands of them flying, so you would be unique on your block 8-).


Do you really believe the MII can be built as quickly as Van's current kits,
which are all pre-punched (OK, except for the -3 and -4)? I'd think the
self jigging feature of Van's kits would save you 500 hours worth of time on
airframe alignment and locating where to drill the holes. I know I spent
plenty of hours on my -6 making darned sure that everything was plumb, and
making sure I drilled holes in the right places, as opposed to the wrong
places (usually separated by 1/4" or so)...

As a data point, a local fellow who completed an MII said that if he had it
to do over again, he'd go with Van's, simply because of the better
engineered kits. This guy finished his MII something like 2 years ago.
