Ok here is my opinion on the situation. I have several giant scale aircraft (H9 Extra w/ Brison 5.8 and 8 JR digital servos, H9 Su-31 with a ZDZ 80 Twin and 8 JR digital servos, MW Extra 300 with Moki and JR 4721's all the way around, Lanier Edge with YS 1.20 and JR 4721's all the way around, 1/4 Gee Bee with 3.7 twin and the list can go on for days) Each one of these cost in excess of $1,000 some even over $3,000 but I drive a $600 truck w/ no heat or air. Now, I could sell a couple planes and be driving a new truck but what is the fun in that. I love my planes and every extra penny I have goes to them. I know some people out there have families and the like but for now my crumb snatchers are my planes and I plan to keep it that way for the time being. We all have our priorities and for me my planes are them. I am sure that if I had a family to support my planes would be smaller and not cost as much but for now I am full bore in giant scale.
