I agree with Tshark also. And my H9 C182 didn't cost 2500 bucks either, more like 1100.
When the H9 Cessna first came out it was $600, or morenot including shipping and insurance. Just the kit was $700 when it arrivedat ourdoor. According toyou that leaves 400 dollars for engine, radio, servos and optional accessories.Yes, you could rob servos, radio, engine for other planes you may have and be able to have the Cessna ready for flight with $1,100 but we bought everything new.
How much do you think it would cost you if you had to start from scratch? I'm talking about new products in the box, not used crap from Ebay and used parts from other planes.
I bought everything new including a Saito 150 and a Pitts muffler, servos, etc.All new and in the boxes/bags. Guess that blows your theory out the water.
