FNG - there are also homebuilts and HOMEBUILTS. Some take 5000 man hours and leave you scared to take it outside in case it gets scratched, some can be built in 400 man hours and provide cheap and cheerful flying.

But virtually all types are available second hand, and the man hours spent building them originally don't seem to bear much relationship to the second hand values. If you're happy flying VMC only, there's a lot to be said to spending £5k+ on a PFA homebuilt or BMAA microlight.
