Ok Jerry so your saying that what I'm talking about is doable with adding the power supply( I have power at my field) you suggested so add $100 so a total of about $1750 would get a guy started and flying about every hour, then another battery 10s 4p pack and the another charger, balancer, and power supply with the final setup you could fly every 1/2 hour and that includes the time it takes to fly 9 minutes so basically every 20 minutes your flying with 2 full setups. Hope I got this right so a total of about $2800.
And thanks for your comments.
