Should I quit flying RC for a while? I am 18 years old and don't make that much money. After many obligations, I have $85 left to spend a month. This month I spent $80 on a Tracphone because the car I borrow to drive to the flying field might leave me stranded. After buying fuel, I don't have much left to buy stuff to keep my models in good working order every month. When my radio system started to go, I took as much money as I had made the previous year to buy a 9C because I was told that it could do everything I needed it to do. While not having any money during that time, I used 6 year old fuel that I was given to attempt to fly my planes. I have made substitutes for just about everything on my planes. I'm an excellent builder and I design my own planes. I am a pretty good pilot, but my planes keep breaking on me resulting in many crashes making it look like I should be flying on buddy box. I bought G3 on sale using my savings from the past couple of months so that I wouldn't lose my ability to fly well. Most pilots at my club are getting wary every time I fly. I do dumb stuff sometimes( flying a telemaster inverted about 5 feet off the corn with a broken needle valve- you guessed it, it started sucking air resulting in a high speed inverted landing) because I forget how fragile my planes are. Many members of my club try to support me by giving me their old planes. I have told many members of my club that I'm a good pilot, but they are starting to think that I'm a fraud because I don't have anything to show for it. What should I do?
