Jet kit planes

Alas, I missed my chance to build a supersonic BD-10  ( promotional video ). (Yeah, it would have broken up in flight and killed me; minor details...) But my dreams of being a mini-Maverick aren’t dead yet, even if I never buy an L-39 Albatross . There’s: The Stratos 716x kit plane (P&W JT-15 powered) ($2.5M bizjet); The SubSonex Jet ( PBS TJ-100 powered) ($115K single-seat toy), with a 2-seat version under development; and The ViperJet (GE T58 powered) ($350K 2 seater). Day dreaming ... Getting a type certificate letter of authorization to fly a personal experimental jet is a bit interesting .
