Ok, add a once off cost for certification. 1 techo and one CASA inspector standing around watching it for 1 week making sure it doesn't do anything strange.
Techo: 50hours/wk @$100/hr is $5k
Field Inspector with checklist: 30hrs/wk @$500/hr is $15K.
Total certification cost is $20K
Amortize over 1000 certified units = $20/unit
Certified units cost $1020, discount rate $1000/unit.
