Greetings all,
I'm new to aviation, working on getting my PPL currently.
a couple buddies and I have settled on building a couple of kitfox's over the next couple years, while I build time and ratings.

What got me thinking was, how have those of you who've done it funded your build?
I know you can finance a finished plane, but a kit seems to be a little harder to do. Did you finance the kit? Sell an extra car or other toys? Cash our refi on your house? Pay Cash?

Just looking for ideas on how you've done it. Considering the kit plus engine is likely to run ~80K by the time you factor avionics, engine, plane kit, etc.

Not looking for boasting or starting a debate on which way is 'best', just looking for advice on methods or sacrifices you all have made to get there.

Cheers,

Matt
