What would be the approximate cost of converting an EA81 ?
The cost of conversion depends on who is doing the work. If you make all your own parts, you could come out farely low in $$$ cost, by extremely high in time cost. That is the option we took, but it took YEARS not weeks. I would probably do it again the same way, of course it would take much less time now 🙂 It is amazing how many parts we made two or three times! The hanger is full of previous iterations. I know a local guy that build a Pelican. He bought a Soob engine, built his own reduction from Reductions Inc plans, and flew. He used the engine straight from the car, with a total $ outlay of less than $1500. Anyway, you get the idea. It’s the same old money/time balance.
