KNS you said it !
Most of us have to be in charge in all ways to afford the mess of parts and maintenance .
last i knew a chopper work on to fly it ratio was about 4 to one, ( 4 hours maint. One hour in the air).
You add a "real" helicopter to the mix.......yea its now very expensive.
A experimental....well at least the labor is sort of free.....and the parts a LOT cheaper.....
