A kit.

I will second that... No AD's. your are your own A&P so annual bills
are greatly reduced,,, and the satisfaction of flying a plane you

I've thought about that many times, but I don't have a big enough
garage attached to the side of my house and I am not sure there is any
facility in this city to rent where I could do such work. Besides, at
55 I really don't want to have to wait a year for my financing to work
out and then spend another 2 years building before I can fly. By that
time I will be just a couple of years shy of 60 and who knows how much
time will be left for flying. Time is ticking....

Then buy one that's already built and flying. For 50k you can get a
decent rv4 or 6
