On an unrelated matter, as much as I would love to undertake building a IVPT, I don't think I could get it done and it would wind up being an ultimate shop queen. At best, by the time I got finished I'd have gone through a couple of wives and be too old to fly it. Could some of you experienced builders comment on the market value of your plane vs your investment in your project. A perception that I have is that it is hard to recover hard costs let alone sweat equity, this being a result of the nature and limited size of the experimental aircraft market.
