Re: How'd y'all get started?
I am lucky enough to be in a position to buy a project all at once. I will also state that if I could not I would not hesitate to buy and build one section at a time (would probably help keep me focused on the task at hand).
Re: How'd y'all get started?
I purchased my Super Sport firewall back ( fuselage, wings, tail feathers, landing gear). That will keep you busy for months. Purchasing the other parts as I come to them and need them in sequence. As a benefit, it saves me from taking up build room to store parts not needed yet. Just the way I did it.

I find that I enjoy my hobbies much more if I'm not making payments. The only way you'll get a bank to finance an unfinished kit, anyway, is through your credit card. Something tells me you probably don't have a $30K limit on your Visa.
It's like anything else. If you can't afford new, buy used. I'm currently building a 20-year-old Model 4 kit that I bought for less than half the price of a factory kit. I paid cash. It took months of searching to find it and I had to drag it home from halfway across the country, but at least I didn't have to build the wings. And it's paid for.
