I have been flying regularely since January this year and I am over $2000 already. I equate R/C aeromodeling to haroin addiction. I want every plane I see and I compulsively buy whenever I think I find a good deal... oh did I mention I have spent this much and a lot of it is used? I have a problem... I know this... I have a support group... they meet at the airfeild on weekends... It's not helping... but it sure is fun!
