I happen to own 2 33%'ers and 4 1/4 scales as a matter of fact. I WISH my planes $10 and $20'ed me to death like you claim. Mine don't. They have typically $100'ed me to death. I tried to drop the topic by just acknowledging what he said because I do agree with him and you; things are way overpriced in this hobby, but then again; when I got into big scale birds, I KNEW what I was getting into. I didn't do it with blinders on. If the $40 pilot was my biggest concern, I'd have no concerns.
sorry if that's not the answer you were expecting. I bet it wasn't.
