V-22 Osprey Project - Bill of Materials
At some point, I'm sure someone will ask me what all it took and how much it cost to build my version of the V-22 Osprey. I sat down with a pile of Amazon receipts and compiled this BOM. I believe I've captured all the component costs, but there will be some fudge factor. For instance, I purchased the donor helicopters several years ago at a swap meet for $100 each, and I don't believe these are available any longer. The KDS helicopter was, as far as I can tell, a clone of the popular Align Trex 450. Similar clones still exist and parts are generally plentiful. To date, this has cost me about half of what I could have purchased from Rotormast, so that's a plus. V-22 Bill of Materials
