Kit Aircraft Pricing

Airframe Construction - Pricing a Kit.....!

I have been asked to help price a kit, not just a Vans - although they seem to be harder to price other than a kit price from the supplier. I thought I would share the items I am including and welcome any feedback. This page will be updated as i get the missing figures. For the moment I have concentrated on RV12 & RV9.
