I really fancied a Jab, but I can't afford it, what with the commercial stuff as well. Instead I'm building a VP2.
The great advantage with the Jab homebuilt is it dose not takt a lot of time to build it, compared to other aircraft. All you have to do is bond structural comopnents. But in my digging into building a Jabiru, I have found out from others, it can be harder than you think.
You can "pick up" Ex club aircraft at reasonable prices - £10,000 - £20,000. They may have been a bit knocked about but they are good if you can get your hands on the type you trained on. a C150 might not be the ritz, but parts are readily available and you'd be able to see europe flying one. Another advantage is decent radios, avionics, transponder, ect, ect,
Just a thought,
WF.
