I have to admit it is purely my fault! I got into racing cars and within two years everything seemed to double. It would cost me less then 2 hundred to build a 6 point cage then it went up to over 4 hundred to build a four point! Play darts for fun bought my first set of M-3s for under 60 bucks and now they are over a hundred. Shoot black powder in compitition first gun cost under two hundred now the same one is nearly six hundred. None of this had a lot of time in between either! Now I am seeing every thing from fuel engines, ARF's and kits etc. go through the roof. Not happy with the price's going up so much and so fast! Maybe I will stay in it or maybe just fly less? not sure right now!
