Hi again,

I'm mid-build on my night heron and i feel i'm spending a fortune for materials, tools, supplies. I would estimate i'll be up around 1300-1500$ in the end. Just curious as to how much everyone estimates their finished product to have cost them (not that this would stop me from building 1,2,3 more). Obviously now that i have alot of the tools i didn't have before the next build would be cheaper; but does everyone find their 2nd+ yaks a bit more efficient to build in terms of cost?

Damian
