Default RE: Pattern planes Why do they cost so much

I don't think anyone really understands how few of each plane is ever built. Let's take the 2M Focus.

I think ther were only a couple hundred sold over 5 yrs! Now planes are bigger...harder to make weiight and especially with electric systems.

Most look at the cost of materials..but you have to pay the designer. Builder and shipper. Plus most arfs are made in china. Shipping from china has changed over the last years and cost to ship it outrageuos for single planes there fore must go by container.

If anyone wants to order a container of 25 2M planes to the US or Australia..please contact me via email
