Exactly, and now factor in materials and consumables to, and it adds up as we live in the real World and not that of cheap labour and bulk buy materials. and I am glad you mentioned the 300 hours as that is what people tend to forget when asking for quotes, they tend to forget the lines between hobby time and business time. It's a difficult one for sure, but will be interesting what the USA price structure/time yields on this one as your cost of living is a lot higher that ARF city but would be a bit less that this side of the Atlantic.
I hope it does work out though as it would be a nice model for the future.
