    Compensated for inflation, $40K in Feb 2002 is equivalent to $58,848.59 in today's dollars. With a 2-year lead time for kits, it would be a bad business decision for the factory to not raise the price a little and enjoy the fruits of their wildly successful business. As much as I would love to buy everything to build a plane for much less than today's prices, it is actually in all of our best interest for the factory to make good profits. It makes sure they do not go out of business which would leave a whole lot of orphaned plane projects. I like having a successful and thriving business standing ready to support my project.
