Judging by your report, I'd say it really pays to be their only customer. Or perhaps the only one who survived.

Would you be able to "hangar" it in a, or your, garage with the folding wing?

Maybe you could do some specialty photography to pay for your hobby. "Lakeside photographic portraits of your beautiful home!!! Display your estate from a unique perspective!! Contact ...."

Experimental planes can not be used for commercial purposes, at all. I bought the 6th kit. It was the first to be built by the purchaser. I helped them with the documentation, and several mods. To date they have sold 1,200 plus kits. Ownership of the design/mfr has changed only once since I bought. That is good in the kitplane market.

The one I plan to build next has been under the same management since the beginning. the design is 15 years old

Unless you understand aircraft design and the engineering associated with it, don't build a kit. There is some crap out there.

Yes a folding wing permits storage in a garage but towing over highways put more stress than flying.

Every + has a -.
