Ask Aircraft Bluebook:

Why can't I find my kit aircraft in the Aircraft Bluebook?

Kit aircraft present a unique challenge to the Aircraft Bluebook – Price Digest. With the individual becoming the manufacturer, there is no guarantee of uniformity in the areas of quality assurance for how or who built the aircraft, where it was built and the conditions located therein, or even how long the building process has taken to complete. These aircraft are often very unique which can create dissimilar copies even when building a similar kit. For uniformity standards Aircraft Bluebook only represents  aircraft that are produced and assembled by manufacturers in accordance with Federal Regulations or their permissible alternatives.
