In that case please justify the following

On a 269 a steel tube 12 inches long with a hole at each end $ 1350
Switch from a 500 $135 same part number from Farnell £ 1.95
Pressure switch on a 109 air conditioning system $ 14500 yes $14500

Now to radios why does a military frequency hopping radio cost less than an airborne 8.33 radio ?
If I want to put 1:50k maps on a Bendix King sat nav they told me I wanted the ......... which would be £ 20k. I bought an iPad with the software in it for £ 400

Nice work if you can get it. The manufacturers don't really get it, they are starting to price things out of the market. Another example for you MD helicopters had just stopped outside overhaul agencies overhauling their main transmissions. Guess what the price just gone up from $ 85k to $ 125k strange really

Yes I might be moaning about it but this keeps going on there will not be an industry left soon. I can't put my prices up by 50% !!!!
