Well I remember the days when we ordered a box of parts. Lets say a BVM. 4K to 9K. Glue and lots of supplies. Take 6 months to a year to build. $ 500 in paint cans $ 500 in pro mark graphics... 5K to 10K invest them stuff airplane and finally time to fly. Since builders are going by the way of horse and buggy almost none left( a shame in my book) I think the wait time is not bad. I do own a few skymaster kits. Love and fly them. I think what Chief is doing is great. Saving big freight dollars. Everyone just enjoy the hobby and beat up those who are trying to tie us to drones instead. That is the real problem
