Do you know how much it costs to annual a Cessna 172? You could build 3 of these rigs a year for what the aviation equivalent of a 1988 Toyota Camry costs to maintain and fuel.

This. A full sim rig still costs a lot less than an actual plane, plus it runs on electricity and not leaded petrol so it won't send you loopy at 60.

For what it's worth, avgas is going lead free, and there's already unleaded options.
