Default RE: Does the hobby really need to be cheaper?

ORIGINAL: Airplanes400

I think newbies should be told that the minimum investment for this hobby is $2,500
I also think $2,500 should be / is accurate. Possibly more when it comes to airplanes.
This will help keep the riff-raff out of the hobby.
That is more than I have in my car I drive to work after 3 years of owning it including the cars purchase price [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

If that was the case I don't think any hobby shop would still be open, and if all the shops closed down the companies would stop manufacturing gear so you would be SOL too
