Proflooney and Alcoholic.

You guys seem to think that you have some kind of right to criticise the guys that may be fortunate enough to be able to afford this hobby with a seemingly unlimited budget. It is too bad that life has dealt you the cards that have been dealt but some of us have also worked our asses off to get to the point that we can afford to buy, in your words expensive kits. Some of us do truly believe that there is value in those kits just like some people believe there is value in a Porsche, or a fine bottle of wine. Maybe some of us choose NOT to scratch build and choose not to fly the cheapest, and simplest plane that is around. But just like Six Shooter I believe it is about time you quit criticising the manufacturers, and modelers that really don't mind paying....what you have determined as high prices. What is a high price to you may be a very good value to me. Is it expensive, yes but relative to what?

BTW Diving can be a very expensive hobby as well. Just price a dive trip to the Cayman Islands some time.
