Funny how when someone asks anything in aviation regarding costs, the

ANYONE any longer answer a question rather than giving a reference?
Someone give the guy a figure please! even if its a long shot rough
estimate.


Sorry, but a bad guess was not going to help the original poster, and I
didn't want affect anyone's decision (including those just reading these
postings) with poor information.

If the answer to a question is important to you, you should go to the
source and get a *good* answer. His question was just a starting point
in a process to determine if self-launchers were for him, and if so,
which one might be the best fit. My answers were offered to aid that
process.

For someone with simple curiosity like yourself, the "long shot rough
estimate" answer is "a lot" ;-)
