1. As a radio control pilot and builder, I could do it for about $5K
There are off the shelf telemetry/video systems for anywhere from $500 to $3K. The airframe, even if you rely on carbon fiber or more exotic construction materials shouldn't take more than $1K.
I guess that $30K profit is needed to provide the incentive for development and innovation. NOT
