perception...
I perceive that there are good people in all areas of aeromodeling.
Thanks to AEROBOB and countless others and the dedication and supportive attitude they have exhibited to me I have a great appreciation for the sport/hobby of aeromodeling. It doesn't matter if its pattern, free flight, control line, sailplanes or jets. I have found good people and friends in all the areas I have participated in. IF it weren't for these good people I would have surley lost interst in the hobby and ventured off to somehting else.
AS far as cost... its relative.
How much is a good set of golf clubs...plus weekly green fees or how about Country Club dues? BTDT
How much does it cost to run a competitive or even a hobby stocker auto racer or motorcycle? BTDT
Boating, Sailboats, Jet SKi's.... more money less time to use too.
BTDT
So far this is the least expensive of the other sports I was involved in.
I could go on and on... If there is a way to make it go or go cheaper modelers know how to get it done. A very inventive group of people. A great escape and tension releiver for me no matter what S.I.G I get involved in.
Right BOB?
