Top end for top notch well-known and experienced builders can be in the
$2000 range. You supply them a kit, they get it ready for equipment
installation, you supply the parts, (engine mount, etc.) and they supply
covering materials and paint.
<br>You install radio, engine, servos, etc.
<br>Just a rough idea; it's what I know some have paid.

experienced hands that have done pattern planes before, can build light

$800. I've paid more and charged less. That's a low end starting

<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Guys,</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>I am going to give pattern a try this
2004 season and am buying a rtf plane from a fairly local fai pilot. In
order to have a back up plane i have a guy who was going to build me a
40% bird for IMAC but now i think i'm going to have him build me a new
pattern ship. What is a fair price for building one of these?</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1> basicly it's a RTF job
minus the radio install. ( all parts/paint not included in job price of
