On the other hand, homebuilds are very safe....most builders die or quit before completing the aircraft. grin


Nice dream Hung...anything with the durability, utility, and versatility of a C-150 will run you closer to $100k by the time it's completed. Of course this would include a larger-than-O200-engine and a nice (but modestly equipped) VFR panel. AND...you'd have a brand new airplane.

In my opinion the Sportsman 2+2 (formerly Glastar) is the ideal "C-150" of homebuilts...and getting $120k into one wouldn't be too hard.
