Now that this project is complete, Reeves hinted he may start on another plane in his basement.

At least now... he's got a way to get the plane out...

Not always!  One of the boats he built, the one he named Kelly, appeared in an episode where it was found floating with some dead baddies in it.  Gibbs had given the boat to his old partner's (Mike Franks) grand daughter, or something.

I saw that last week and thought about posting it, but....

...the answer is he's going to knock down part of a basement wall and get it out and then reconstruct the wall.

Not exactly "planning ahead" but if you have the extra shekels to buy the RV7 kit--then you have the shekels to drop the basement wall and then put it back up again.

Gibbs built three boats in his basement, one from every wife.

I probably would've built a shed in the backyard to construct the plane, perhaps with plumbing and AC, I think he's going to need it for a while  ;)

Buying and building an RV kit is absolutely not a standard of being "rich."

You can build an RV7 for around 70k completed
