has put the price of a standard-build kit at around 30,000 Canadian

pesos, I

was open to alternatives. After reading up on Sean Ponsonby's Vision (#2,
with an 0-320) I compared the $12,000 CDN airframe materials price, the
over-all performance of Sean's plane, and viewed another builder's set of
plans. While the RV is the most fun plane I've ever flown, the Vision

sounds

very promising, and way more affordable. Unless something better comes

along

in the meantime we plan to build a Vision, powered by (of course) a 13-B.
Two of our members are well on their way with their Visions. One of them,
Calvin Thorne, is on American Affordable's Vision site. He's the

"Canadian

builder" featured. You may want to touch base with him. Keep us posted on
your project!    Brett.

Brett,
We call the Aust dollar the South Pacific Peso !
Not building a 4 place.
You shouldn't need to spend $12,000 Cdn Pesos, if you use local products
about $6,000 should do it ( motor and Instruments extra).
Is Calvin using the 13B ?
