Along with other early builders, in 1999 I purchased almost all of the aluminum needed to build my Sonex airframe for about $1,000, and that included certifications for the metal. Then, shortly afterwards, the supplier found out that we were using the aluminum to build airplanes and they would no longer fill any order for that purpose. In 2001 I paid $10,700 for a brand new Jabiru 3300 engine. Oh the good old days...............now long gone.
