Right. It can be very expensive once you are in it -- no disagreement there. But I didn't star out with hardened hex drivers, JIS screwdrivers, and a Sirius peak charger, etc. It's a lot easier to spend $2000 over 6 months than all at once. That's my only point. Once you are drwn into it and in the air, the additional expenses for nicer tools and equipment are easier to take. As I stated above, in a perfect world, you would do it right the first time and not buy stuff twice. But some stuff, like the screwdrivers, can still wait while avoiding such double buying. I think the more people in the hobby the better.
