OK, Lets look at this,
Cost for a trip to the US for one Week
Return Flight $2000
Accommodation & Meals $2000
Transportation $ 500 This is only taxis. Hire car even more.
Entry fee $ 100 estimate
Shipping of Bot $ 200 estimate
Total $4800
And if someone went I would consider that it would only make sense in trying to line up several comp's around the US which would only increase the costs as there would be extra accommodation, flights, transports, etc.
Not to mention that the RC we use here are not compatible with the US rules. This would mean a new Radio controller.
So before long the costs would blow out to over $10,000 and this would be a cheap trip.
I believe at the moment, sending someone to the US is unrealistic. The cost I put together is very tight budget, and personally at this stage, would not be interested in assisting.
(May be at a later time, when the sport here is reconised.)
I think it is more important to help expand the sport here first. _________________ It's all about the destruction.
