Hey folks. Mitch here in Palmer, Alaska. Was a crew chief on Chinooks in the Army. I've wanted to be a pilot my entire life, starting when I first saw the show Airwolf when I was 3ish years old. Finally make enough money to where I can make that reality come true.

I'm a mechanic by trade. Didn't get my A&P, but it's on my radar.

Question is- what is the level of difficulty to build an airplane rather than buy one? High hour planes are still insane in price. It seems more cost effective to build one.
