what is fair price-build job?

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Good experienced hands that have done pattern planes before, can build light and straight will take about 80 hours on the low end.  At $10/hr that's $800.  I've paid more and charged less.  That's a low end starting point.
  Hope I'm not inducing a case of the cringes on anyone but I hadn't seen any other responses and wanted to get this started.

  Guys,
  I am going to give pattern a try this 2004 season and am buying a rtf plane from a fairly local fai pilot. In order to have a back up plane i have a guy who was going to build me a 40% bird for IMAC but now i think i'm going to have him build me a new pattern ship. What is a fair price for building one of these?
    basicly it's a RTF  job minus the radio install. ( all parts/paint not included in job price of course)
  Please give me a range of what you've seen ( high to low)
  thanks for your help!
  Regards,
