Ha, if you think that's a lot, I've got some news for you. That might be the price for just the CPU, but the price for the avionics package (basically a RAD750 with the necessary boards to manage power and IO) is a whole lot more than that. (I'm probably not allowed to name the exact number, but you're going to need to add a zero for sure.)

no way I'd be surprised by it. When you only sell 4-5 a year, its going to be pricey!
