Default cost of getting into turbines.

Only 20 Gallons of Jet-A????? We burned 55 gallons in three days at an event last weekend!

Average cost if you go with new equipment

P-120 $3,295.00
Kit depends on what you are interested in.... $800-$8000
JR 10X radio $1,200 (Futaba is comparable price I am sure)
Servos for your pride and joy figure $500-$1200
Misc materials for building including paint etc.... $1000
Misc fire extinguishers $250
Startup equipment, chargers, fuel jugs $500-750


Expensive but very fun. Note you also may have to spend the equivalent dollars on new jewelry, clothes, etc... for your better half.
