No wonder many opt to buy outside the US...
I sure wouldn't work for less than $20.00 an hour, especially on a project like this.
Try paying less, while expecting a competitioin grade model, and see what you come up with.
It takes experience and talent to build a model with the features that you require. Experience and talent cost money.
