Status: offline 		I can't even imagine Nutt. I have one little King 2 and I seem to be throwing large amounts of cash at it to keep it flying. You have 5 Heli's that go all the way to a 600 size. How do you do it? Although I will buy a 450 size before the year is up, I can not see going past 2 heli's or bigger than 450 size...

I was not aware that banks would consider to loan money on a "leisure" expense for RC supplies! Do they?

Status: offline 		I spent 2 months working everyday to amass the largest part of my collection, pretty much have most of what I want now though, not into cnc upgrades yet, still learning, still crash, I just love the value of the ESky helis, what you get for what you pay is very good in my book, for the money I have invested in my helis (not counting the E-Smart, cost more then my current car ) versus the enjoyment I've gotten from then is ten fold, I'm thinking of buying another HBK II so I can have a home for the 3800 from my Belt CP

Banks, my checks get directly deposited into the heli vendors accounts, I don't even see it anymore

Actually I have my own small detail shop for cleaning cars so anytime I want more heli parts I go clean a car And its getting nicer out so I'm gonna start booking appoinments, I usually only clean cars when I feel like it because I have a nice full time job as well.
