Here's the total cost of this "wacky" project to date. The 40 - 50 hours you see for the AcroSports website is being done by Shannon Dunn (graphics guru and web designer extraordinaire) in exchange for the 2 hours/night, twice a week training that the team has been doing in preparation for the Flugtag. Even at a deep discounted rate of $70/hour for his web work, tack on another $3500 to the total of this project..... Let's not forget the countless hours everyone has contributed to this effort. We have had 5 solid weekends (working both saturday and sundays) that were anywhere from 8 hours to 11 hours long with 3 guys onsite. That's approximately 250+ of man hours. Then there's the time spent for media interviews which is another 4+ hours per team member. The public build at Pier 23 was 8 hours per member with all 4 of us there (32 more hours)..... Then you have the 16 - 20 hours spent by Shannon's mom and sister who meticulously sewed the entire bull skin. Even taking the extra time and effort to sew velcro strips onto the skin so we could easily cover and uncover the bull!

And "yes" we all have real day jobs...

Ok, enough of that junk... So you still want to build a Flugtag craft? Here's the monetary impact;
