Brother, I disagree. The labor costs to build the planes might be similar (assuming it takes the same amount of time to build a "3 meter" or a 2. But, the materials I can assure you are not "minor difference". My case in point is I built an Allegro Lite (2 meter) and a Bubble Dancer (3 meter). They are effectivly the same design. Just one is "unlimited" size and the other is a 2 meter. The cost of the materials on the BD was about twice that of the AL ($200, and $100 respectivly). Most of the cost was in the carbon wing spars. When you start looking at the amount of Kevlar cloth to do a 2 meter Aegea versus a 3 meter Aegea, you start to see the same thing. The Allegro Lite (and perhaps 2 meters in general) being a smaller plane also called for less expensive servos (although not greatly different in cost). JR 241s rather than JR 341s in the BD. My 2 cents. Ryan RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
