While I agree that a $100 module will be appealing to some, let’s look at this a bit more realistically. First off I wouldn’t call it a one time expense. Equipment failures/crashes do happen. Some will want more than one aircraft module equipped as a convenience of not having to switch modules around between flights of 2 or 3 aircraft. Since FT is aimed at getting youth involved in the hobby ( this I applaud ) perhaps the cost should also be compared to the cost of a youth joining a FRIA. AMA $15 , average club cost $20 to $50. Add in the access to instructors/mentors and a FRIA looks to be a better option for some.
