thanks, i think she's a beauty too! She flys great, even after battery cutoff or if i just feel like soaring she glides well, even at 30oz. all up wieght. As for cost i'm not really sure it was more work than cost really, the materials (kevlar/carbon fiber/S-glass) is all aviation grade ordered from an aviation supply company in southern california. The strykers no that big maybe a 4'x3' peice of fiberglass covered the whole bottom and then thin strips of kevlar along the wingtips and a piece for the bottom engine mount and about a sq.ft. piece of carbon fiber for the top engine mount. The canopy was made by covering the fuselage area with packing tape and then slowly and constantly "wetting" the CF with the resin until it took the shape of the fuse, trimmed it up and now its strong and super light.
