Im a very experienced pilot looking for a minimalist xc machine to travel once a month between utah and Michigan. Im looking at the s2 stretch im 6 ft 2 and 180 lbs . Is this a reasonable idea . Its seems like you can buy complete flying examples for anywhere between 10k and 20k . What are the pitfalls of buying a flying airplane or 90% completed project. There is an onex on barnstormers for 19k looks 90% complete . The sonex is generally more expensive for the same performance as the s 2 . Whats the disadvantage of the s 2 if im mostly solo .
