Why did you
I fly Agricultural aircraft for a living and have always wanted to get my heli license. I couldn't justify the $20000 to fly full size so I spent a bit less than that and started flying RC helis ; )
I think considering that actually flying is nothing new to me and I really dont get a kick out of it anymore. I find flying RC a bit more challenging and fun. Not so many rules and regualtions to worry about...Just go out and hover!
