Don't have to do that there, We already paid our AMA fees, and paid our club dues. We're doing just fine. No one whining about the cost either.

John flying Radio Controlled model airplanes is not an inalienable right that the constitution of the Untied States of America guarantees you. It is a hobby. An avocation, something you do for giggles. Maybe you should find something to do with your spare time until you can really afford to take this hobby up. Let's be serious for just a minute, then, you can go back to hating my guts. How many flyable models do you own? I mean right now, you could set them on the ground and fly them? One? Two? Three? It does not matter how many you have, because my question to you is this. If you crashed the airplane that you are going to fly tomorrow, and the crash was so severe that the model was not repairable, I mean it screwed up the receiver, and servos and everything, (even got dirt in the transmitter) Would you be able to replace everything with one of equal value by next weekend?

John if you had to answer that question with a NO, you probably have chosen the wrong hobby.
