I keep my speed graphic in a case to keep the dust off, but I don't think I will ever be able to afford the 4X5 film for it. I havent even had a chance to put my darkroom back together, with all the AC building. Maybe someday I will get my 645s back out (I wonder if they still work) or at least a 35.

George (down under) Hi George, Yes I could afford the kit, but not the 4 or 5 years putting it together. :) The way I work it could have stretched to 10. (I'm no Rusty.) The Vision _is_ a slick looking plane, and looks like it could be a real performer. Bob W.

However if you only want to spend a few bob here and there ( excuse the pun) the Vision is the way to go, for me anyway. Surely you could afford the THAT kit on offer. We don't get to see those sorts of deals in Australia. George ( down under) Hi George, The BD-4 is kind of like that too. There are a few custom items that are hard to get, the main one being the wing spars. Jim Bede and Team Aviation are two current sources and there are a lot of old BD-4 kits around that were never finished. I looked at a kit that had very little work done on it. The whole kit was $5600 with a lot of expensive options. If you want high performance at a bargain price, you can't beat the BD-4. One of my main goals was to have a fast cross country plane. Most of the big airshows where you can show off a rotary engine are quite a ways from here. :) Bob W.

The beauty of this plane (Vision) is that you can make parts as you can afford them. I guess you already have instruments, engine etc. Worth some consideration. I'm working on a single rotary for the Light Sport Category (Vision). Power requirements are between 115 and 125hp.
