yes this hobby is expensive. But others are more expensive. My girlfriend just got me into this hobby with a christmas present. I've always wanted to get into it though. I live several hundred feet down the road from my uncles airfield that he flies cropdusters from. As far back as I can remember people would come to the field and fly RC planes. I always walked or rode my bike to watch them fly. Now thanks to my girlfriend I have dove headfirst into the hobby. I've already spent almost $1000 and have 2 planes. I'm also into cars. Right now I'm broke (well almost) and need to replace the clutch in my Mustang Cobra. If I wasn't into RC that money would have just gone into the cars which gets even more expensive.
