So a custom build you are speaking of. Do you know what I would charge to custom build a 2m?

Now you are speaking about something close to the $4000 Oxai's. Also a custom build IMO. This could go on and on. I'm just saying. The reason a 40% costs more is because it is 40%. If you took the same plane and made it 2 meters, it would be much, much cheaper. Take a pattern plane and make it 40% with no restrictions, it would cost the same as the 40% IMAC plane I'm guessing.

Hey Chad,

Yeah, I agree, size is only one way to look at it, but it seems to be the discussion point here for some reason. Bigger costs more vs less. The 26% may not be competitive in IMAC, correct. But they don't have limits on that. Let's build a 40% pattern plane and see what happens, I'm guessing our 2m stuff wouldn't be competitive either. I'm just comparing planes. I'm guessing Jason, QQ, Andrew, Christophe or Chip would have no problem beating most in IMAC with the 26%.

It really doesn't matter to me either way. At the current prices, I'm almost being forced out of pattern. So unless we can start running cheaper parts, I may be forced to stay home. Or wait, I guess it does matter to me.
