Wow, I had no idea the turbines are so expensive!! I figured $2000-$3000 would get you 4 engines. Plus $1000-$2000 for the radio equipment, and $1000 for materials. That left about $4000 for all the odds and ends needed, like wheels and fuel tanks, etc.

But if the motor's are as expensive as you say... that guy could have been racing a WRX for cheaper than that plane!
