This was built for a major competition in the US.

It is documented that the owner had a team working full time for some months on the design and construction of the aircraft.

Estimates of the cost are from $150k to $400k.

I had no idea that models like this got built. Do you have a link to the build thread?

[bigbubba]

There is a build thread but it is in Russian.

Google translate does seem to do a pretty good job though.

I truly admire the skills of the builders, but...the subject is as dull as ditchwater. Why on earth did did they choose that?
