Dude , if you said $49 , $60 or even the e-bay scams of $69 I would agree , but my company ships over $2,000,000 in UPS a year and $30 for the size of a typical plane is very normal , there average is probably $24 bucks to $35 for a plane , so you right in the middle . Take there plane to a UPS store when you get it , they will take the typical UPS charge plus there UPS-retail mark up and you will see it will cost you $75 to $100 to ship the same plane , try it !!!
