$25 to $50 a month is what my budget is set at and I was able to build a pretty nice GA pit for that amount. Like I said above, you will learn 'creative scrounging'. Just be careful that you dont get carried away. Like walking thru the living room and noticing the shelves of the entertainment center are the perfect size for some structural supports under the pedestal...
There are times when you will go over budget as I said above. I have a couple of GoFlight items and they blew my budget for a couple of months. It will take longer with a lower budget but you will still get there.
$50 to $100 is more realistic but it all depends on what you have around and what you are willing to convert.

Not everyone wants or needs a true-to-life full flight deck. For the cost of your shell and display system you can build a full panel with a nice 3 monitor display, and possibly add motion to it. You spend that much because you want to, not because you have to. A generic GA costs less than $1000.00 to completely build. True, its not a 100% replica of any GA craft, but it will give you a nice pit to fly in.
