Forget building an Eagle and selling it for $80K. That is the price the
factory charges for a built one. A homebuilder could only get the price
the kit cost . This is the fact of homebuilts, the insecrity of the builders
skill and care of construction drives the built price down to kit level or
below. The only way to make a "profit" is to have a person who wants an
Eagle but does not want to build it pay for the kit and pay you a
modest fee for building it. Don't expect to be able to get $40K+ though
because you are competing against a factory of professional builders at
Christian.
