So, you're not accounting for the required training and licensing to operate those, I take it? FYI, even if you "fast track" the training and go straight for the written exam that precedes logged flight hours (sim and real, both), you're still looking at ~$30k just to be allowed to fly. Then, there's the routine (& frequent) maintenance, storage, fuel, etc.

Sure, you can buy a cute li'l death trap for <$50k, but it's a lawn ornament without licensing.

Don't get me wrong: fuck Star Citizen sideways with an alien chode tumor. Just, don't point to garage-tier aviation "solutions" as a fair comparison. 🤗
