The metal to build a 601 or Sonex will run in the 3000-4000 price
range, figure an engine to be 10 G , and there is nothing to building one
of these planes so labor SHOULD not be a boatload. But I have seen these
sell for 40-60G , and it's highway robbery. 25G would be good , and 30G
probably not unreasonable. Hey they are not building 777's , just a small
plane. I speak from experience in production of aircraft, from MD-80's to
Learjets.
A greedy company that wants to sell a 25G plane for 50G may sell
100...if he sold them for 25G he has the potential of selling 500, simply
because it opens the market for more people. All I can fly is sport
category and I WILL NEVER pay as much for a light sport plane as a 172,
etc.


Get out your checkbook.

Sonex had a new (LSA) plane at OSH for $24K ...built ...with engine ....and
instruments ...and tires.
