I'm doing a market study for an MBA program and would appreciate a few people to answer these questions.

 

 

How likely are you to purchase an aircraft/kit in the next year?

 

Have you ever owned an airplane?

 

How would you equip your aircraft and how much would you expect it to cost you?

 

Have you ever built an airplane?

 

How much time per week can you devote to building an aircraft?

 

Tailwheel or Nosewheel?

 

SLSA or kit?

 

Would you be more likely to purchase a flying Kitfox S7 if more were readily available to purchase?

 

Would you prefer to build a kit or buy a completed kit with the airworthiness certificate already issued?

 

 

Thanks!
