Bill of materials

Every part the book specifies, its listed or estimated weight, its indicative price, and what can take its place. This is a reference BOM, not yet a retailer-linked shopping list.

Prices go stale; this page cannot stop them. Figures were checked row by row between 2026-05-11 and 2026-08-11. They are US list prices in dollars, before shipping and tax. Source labels marked “URL pending” are not purchase links. Confirm stock, exact SKU and price at a named retailer before ordering.

“In flight” is not “what you buy.” A spare canopy has a cart quantity and no flight mass, because it lives in your toolbox until you break the one on the quad. The flight column is what the AUW calculator plans against.

Subtotal, not delivered price. The figure above is the sum of the currently selected parts, generated from the dated BOM. Shipping and tax land on top and vary by region and retailer. Budget that gap before ordering; do not turn a parts subtotal into a promise about the checkout total.
