BINGO! Buying an amateur-built plane can be a dangerous minefield.
There are several thousand experimental aircraft flying around with great build quality and reliability. There are also a lot of certified aircraft out there that are only slightly more than termites holding hands. Experimental aircraft offer a huge increase in efficiency and performance at a fraction of the price of certified aircraft. It is definitely a roll of the dice, but like any aircraft buyer... due diligence is required for pre-buys. It is what it is.
