These days you are pretty much guaranteed to go to six figures with a
homebuilt, at least if you count your pennies like I do... ;')

I don't dare count all the pennies, my wife might get hold of the
numbers and realize just how much I have spent. BG Actually, she
has been keeping track of it all from the beginning. I have an
estimate but really didn't care until recently when money became a bit
less abundant.

IMHO, the best bang for the buck: http://bd-4.org/
also: http://www.tvap.com/

I would debate this idea. I think you would be hard pressed to be able
to build something for less money than an old Taylorcraft or Aeronca
Chief, etc...

Considering that even a modest plane costs as much as a house, I can
barely imagine the world of people whose toys cost more than their
planes.

I have a feeling that the first plane I own will be one I build
myself.

True, but it won't be an RV-6,

And I won't debate that My take was the poster was implying that he
thought it was cheaper to build rather than buy and on that assumption,
I suggested he check out some older "classics" if cost was the only
criterion
