Default RE: Can a $10 "pattern style" airframe really exist?

A couple years back I started a profile Fascination using blue foam for the body. Once you decide to sheet and cap the wings (which I think you'll probably have to do once it's scaled up) I quickly got to the point that it was going to take the same amount of manhours as a "real" pattern plane.. Money is only part of the equation, time was the other. So I built a Jupiter instead!
