Andreas,
How many people were needed to build Salto in what time span?
Was the cost of materials about $10-15 thousand or more?


If I remember correctly, we needed about three people (part-time) to
build one Salto per month.
The main problem with the Salto was that the female molds left a lot
to be desired - especially the wings needed a lot of work to fit them
to the fuselage. Therefore the finishing needed forever.

The cost of materials was in the $15.000 range.
