So here is a good post for Beginners.
RC is kinda of an expensive hobby once you pay field dues, AMA membership, field equipment, planes, parts, etc. I look at the prices of planes and parts needed to build up and go wow gotta wait because that is more then I want to spend etc.

How do you guys cut your cost and save money in this hobby?
Where do you find your deals?
How can you get your parts and planes cheaper then the standard online prices?
Any other hints or secrets to save money?

I would like to hear anything you have. I know this hobby would cost more then others and I know I have to spend some money but it seems in some of these forums you guys get deals on engines, kits, etc and I want to know how you do it and pass that info on to the guys just starting out to help us along.

Thanks fliers</p>
