Hi CP,

If you want 1hr 'work'=1hr flying time for a goal... Try a Stryker electric pusher RTF.
Get a portable generator and call a Match. Pilots will show up. It will be fun. There will be some "Jaw Jacking' in the pits while recharging/repairing.
(Make sure to count the time you have to work to afford buying in)
But... Easy Come,Easy Go.

Personally, I like building model airplanes. My spare time creating a cool flying machine is a joy for me.
RC Combat is a chance to fly the bags off them ! I do not care about winning. If I toast a plane, there is more room to build another.
I also have many friends I have met over the years. And learned allot ![8D]

The RCCA Safety Rules are Great. A big Thank You to whoever came up with them. They work flawlessly here and make it 'easy' to put a Match on...

Take care,
Have fun,
