That is just too fuckin cool!
Next question, how much does it cost to build/fly one of these things?

That's a big huge variable.
If your really good with plans, wood and fiberglass, the plane can cost as little as the materials, under 200 bucks.
Kits can run from 400-3500 bucks.
Then there's radio systems that run from 150 to 1200 bucks depending on all the channels you need.
Turbine engines can be built from kits for about 750, and all out full auto start with remote ready to run with fuel pumps and everything can be as high as 4,000 bucks.
Ive seen some guys with 20k invested in some planes.
