I can see how easy it is to sink cash into these, $250 for the motor, over $200 for the retracts, and I havent added up the servos and RX yet.

Normally, I just want to have an idea of how much money is in a model but never want to know the exact amount. I just need to remember that I need to protect the investment to enjoy it for long time. Never want to know the exact amount so I don't have to cry when I have a bad landing and need to spend extra on repairs. Last model I lost on a dump thumb crash was over seven years ago. I still remember how much it hurt to my pocket and my ego.
The guesstimate for my Spitfire is around $850.
