10 Experimental Aircraft You Can Build And Fly

In today’s world of aviation, there’s a company in Oregon, RDD taking these ready built lancair 4 seater airplanes and putting some incredible mods on them. The result is a Lancair LX7-20 Turboprop Aircraft. RDD collects the plane from the customer, dissembles it, adds new beefed up parts to increase performance and safety. A standard LX-7 will come with a piston 350 HP continental engine capable of cruising 250 knots and take you as far as 2400 nautical miles. Opt for a turboprop engine in the LX7-20 though, and you’re in a different class of business. The turbine LX7-20 will cruise 280 knots true and take you as far as 1400 nautical miles with full tanks. The price? a cool million give or take. The LX-7 cost about $850,000, and the LX7-20 cost about $1 million.
