Hi,
I have a sidewinder tube fuselage, wing ribs and spars, landing gear, complete plans, and apx 25-30 completed welded parts. The completed work seems to be of good quality, I estimate completion to date to be at only around 10 %.
Would I be better off buying a finished sidewinder (some are selling for around $ 29,000 us) or completing what I got for a song.
I think I would enjoy completing the project and I understand it is not a kit so this means machining, welding, riveting, cutting etc. etc. and then the rest engine, control panel, avionics, instruments, controls, seats uplhostery, finding a Canopy, cowlings, wheel pants etc. etc.
I am not strapped for flying as I have a nice Murphy Rebel Amphib. which I fly regularly.
I am interested in the sidewinder and I understand this will probably take me years to complete.
Thx
Dan
