PREVIOUS RESULTS

We received over 500 responses to our question last week on factory built versus kit aircraft. The largest group (31 percent) of those responding said factory aircraft was their best choice, as they don’t have time to construct. Nearly a third (28 percent) of those responding cited several reasons for constructing a kit aircraft, including the fun of building and flying one’s own machine and the educational aspect of learning the inner workings of an airplane.
