It seems difficult to not spend a small fortune every month while enjoying this hobby. With flying styles as diverse as trainers, sport planes, pattern planes, 3D planes, scale aerobatics, scale warbirds, pylon racing, sailplanes and gliders, combat contests, float flying, free flight, and control line (to name a few), it's easy to drop a small fortune every time you discover a new facet of the hobby.

What do we spend it on? Books, magazines, kits, tools, adhesives, ARFs, engines, flight packs, engines, props, flight box equipment, batteries, chargers, fuel, materials for our "workshops", cleaning materials, and so much more.

There seems to be no end to the categories available for us on which spend our money.
