The relative cost of Build vs Buy will vary greatly depending on the
mission requirements and the amount of time used in the calculation.
In many cases, it might be cheaper to buy for the initial expense but
depending to circumstances the long term costs would be greater when
you consider annual inspections and the costs of buying parts for
production aircraft. Building your own might be more expensive on the
initial price but prove less costly if you intend to keep the plane
for an extended period of time.


In the end it always comes back to, :If you want to fly, buy;
if you want to build, build".
