So let me get this striaght it took you a long time to right that and you're ticked because I disagree with you premise that the entry cost is ALOT higher then people have been Stating.

There really is only one answer to that Tough. My opinion and my right to disagree with you is a justifible as is yours to disagree with me what YOU DID NOT see was me getting upset with you Go back and reread them in on instance I specifially stated in bold that I wasn't bashing you.

Spend your money any way you like!!!!

But remember what the thread was about and who (a 15 year old) was asking I like you was providing an answer to his question..

Maybe you might want to reread my posts after you cool down..

In the cases where I disagreed with you or anyone else I tried to provide not only a less expensive option but a rationale for doing this.

As far as attitude goes you might want to check yours at the keyboard.

My opinion and my opinion only you spent WAY more then needed to get started.. Sounds like you enjoy it and will put it to good use.... But that list would IMO look misleading to a kid..

as far as crashes go pilot error or mechinical failure act of God its part of the hobby. Wouldn't you agree!!!
