Lancair 320

[SA Private Pilot]

I am considering buying a used Lancair 320. As a kit built aircraft I assume a full inspection on the build should be undertaken? Can anyone help and please also advise what if any work I can do to maintain the aircraft (since I am a buyer and not the builder). Any idea of operating costs would be great as well... Many Thanks

Are you asking the question from the point of view of owning and operating in SA or in Europe? Obviously the regulatory enviroment here is very different to SA.
