Yes. Use the CSV data source for a flat export or the REST data source for a live endpoint. Configure auth (bearer token, API key, or none) and a JSON path if the response wraps the listings array. The plugin caches the response per your cacheDuration and renders one page per craft in the array.

Add construction_log as a JSON column listing kit revision, builder name, plans-built versus quick-build, hours of construction, first-flight date, Phase 1 hours, and DAR inspection results. Render via a list mapping into a Construction Log block. Every craft inherits the block automatically with its own log surfacing for buyer evaluation.

When the row drops from the feed, the URL returns 404 on the next cache refresh and the sitemap entry is removed. To redirect to a similar in-stock craft or to a sold archive, configure a wildcard 301 in WordPress before removing the row, which preserves inbound links from EAA chapter newsletters and the homebuilt forums.

Two thousand is plenty if each page is genuinely different. Add a build_story column for the builder narrative, a maintenance_history column for the post-Phase-1 log summary, and current_condition for honest seller commentary. Combined with kit, engine, hours, photos, and price variation, each page carries enough unique signal to rank independently.

Yes. Add a transition_training_required column with values None, Recommended, or Required (insurance). Render as a prominent badge near the price. Buyers transitioning from a Cessna 172 into a Lancair IV need to know that several hours of transition training will be required by their insurer before they fly the craft solo.

Yes, with Vehicle being the closest matching Schema.org type for aircraft. Map kit to model, engine to vehicleEngine, hours to mileageFromOdometer, and price as standard. Google rich card eligibility holds even though Vehicle is technically a ground-vehicle type, because the structured data still carries the spec spine that ranking engines parse.

Add a pre_purchase_inspection_status column with values Available, Pending, or Recent. For craft with a recent PPI, add a ppi_findings JSON column rendered as a list mapping in a PPI Findings block. Transparent PPI disclosure shortens the sale cycle by eliminating questions buyers would otherwise ask in initial phone calls.

Yes. Run a second page group with /experimental-kits/{kit}/ as the URL pattern, sourced from a kits sheet. Use a list mapping to filter the main feed by kit. One inventory file produces individual craft URLs plus kit-archive landing pages that rank for queries like Vans RV-10 for sale or Lancair IV for sale.
