For the longest time, I've had my eyes set on the RV-12, it's a solid aircraft created by the best manufacturer of kits in the aviation industry. Unfortunately, the kit {plus the other stuff I'll have to buy that's not in the kit) puts the RV-12 out of my price range. Also, I think Vans kinda shot themselves in the foot by not offering a FWF kit sans engine.
So I'm looking at another kit to build, and I'm looking for advice. Here are my requirement for the aircraft.
Kit aircraft that fits the LSA rules and regulations.
Good aircraft to fly around in in the Southeast (Mostly NC and SC). Honestly this would be about 95-98% of my mission.
A good aircraft to take to AirVenture and Sebring.
First time builder friendly.
EDIT: Can be upgraded for the ADS-B thing that's coming in 2020.
And I guess the most important part is that it's fun to fly.
Also I'd like for the aircraft to be able to take off and land in grass strip, but off-site landing isn't going to happen.
So any thoughts or suggestion?
EDIT: I also forgot that the kit must allow me to be frugal, since I'm not taking out a loan for what is a hobby.
