I had to look up the plane. Is it a Newport 17? The questions become, how scale do you want it? The more scale, the more in cost. I see you live down here in SWFla. A Top Gun Builder lives in Naples. True scale builders are not cheap. You could have more than a $1500 for just the builder. Remember too, built planes are always more expensive than ARF's from China. If you just want a 10' stand off finish, then it will be a lot cheaper. I suggest you get in touch with Bill Hatcher in Naples for a quote.
