John,

I think we all would be interested in knowing how much you expect your Zenith to cost when done. I personally am an admirer of the Zenith aircraft, also the Vans, Murphy, LSA's oh hell, I like anything that flies, even (gasp!) homebuilt helicopters.

My conclusion has always been that it is cheaper to buy, own and fly a C150-152 compared to most any of the homebuilts. I would be curious to know how your Zenith compares.
