Dan,

I'm not sure which kit you have reference to. If you mean the 1/5th scale kit that you will cut from the templates and the plans from AMA, I would think that you could replicate this kit (including the $100.00 for the fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, which most of us used instead of the cheap ABS plastic cowl that came with the original kit, and the wheel pants had to be built from balsa). For somewhere in the $200-250.00 range.

If you are talking about the 1/4 scale that I have yet to do much more on than just sketching out the basic layout, I would think that you could build it for about the same amount. The hardware is about the same, there is not that much more material required (a few more sheets of Balsa and You will probably buy a full sheet of 1/8" Luan ply for the formers and root ribs and a few more things. But It all depends on how much waste you have, how you lay it out, and how much detail you wish to have. I don't even want to think how much I already have in this one, or how much will be in it when finished.

These are not commercially reproduced, nor do we want them to be. This 1/5 scale model has had the plans and the parts templates given to the AMA, and as such, now belongs to whomever wishes to make one (operative word is one). We have been down the road of someone wanting to produce these before, and it is the consensus of the Brotherhood, that this should not happen. It is something that I personally do not wish to revisit, but will if absolutely necessary.
