[B]I never really understood why they cost so much.

It's one of those things where they know where to buy it in bulk repackage it and jack the price of it up another 50 to 100%


You would think you could get the male and female 6-packs for only a couple of dollars.

Yup, but it's the law of supply and demand... plus being in a specific market area...


It's amazing how the little things begin to add up when you put a plane together. Even with an ARF it seems like you are always buying a few things here and a few there. Pretty soon you look back and see that you've spent $100 on upgraded pushrods, clevises, servo extensions, screws, CA, trim sheets, etc. I guess it's just one of those unfortunate aspects of the hobby. But we wouldn't pay it if we didn't love doing it

True....but IF I wasn't doing this I'd be out doing something else..and probably have nothing left to show for it....even though, I have to stop in front of the trashcan when I unload after a Baaaaaaaadd day...
