Default Re: "Time building" in experimental AC?

Variety is key in my book. So you have 500 hours of caravan time. One could argue that the caravan is a big heavy turbine powered plane - you're not going to have to worry about engine failure, winds (as much); like you would have to if you were flying an ultralight. Conversely if you only had ultralight time you would have no experience with going fast and heavy ifr flight. I'm trying hard to build my variety, I've got less then 300 hours and I've flown T-Goose, 172, diamondstar, Seminole, glider, cirrus sr20/22 , cub, Aircam, and still building.

not exactly cheap, kits are 100k. But I've heard once its built, operating costs are <$30 an hour!
