With all respect.....
I believe that these opinions change a lot according to the country in the one that you alive.....
In Argentina or wage average is 1/3 of that that you put like average in its country and to have a model and necessary equipment is three times but expensive.
It is really very difficult to settle down that it is expensive and that it is not it there being so many differences from a place to another.
Equally respect the point of view of all who here have been expressed

Hi Mario,
I agree - absolutely - the standard of living varies a lot from country to country. I could only look at our own example. It's for others to examine their relative positions.
However with what is available today , for example take $300 models / E motors / gas engines / radios and accessories , in the 'value' end of the market this sport is much more doable for a great many more people.
Globally it is getting much bigger in terms of the participation levels.
Add the sport scale aerobatic / IMAC scene and it's fair to say RC aerobatics is expanding exponentially.
