I guess that old saying applies, “If you have to ask...”

A very rough estimate...

Plans= 78.00
Wood kit= 595.00
Engines= 1860.00 (for all six)
plastic parts=160.00 (canopies, observer blisters, ect)
Engine cowls= 108.00
Radio system= hard to say, best guess around 3K

Not taking into account on-board batteries, fuel tanks,
retractable landing gear, glue, paint and other stuff that
I always leave out when my wife asks how much you got in
this one?

Also, the above numbers are for a 138” wingspan version
(1/10th scale)

All plan sets come with a sheet of templates to cut your
own parts, if you do this, the bulk wood is about half the
price of the kit.

I’d love to build one but I’d have to buy a bigger vehicle
to transport it.

Mike
