And then one day you sell it all for 1/3 of what you paid and you take the money and start in on a new a less expensive hobby like...coin collecting. :-O
i'll be deep in the cold cold ground before i even consider coin/stamp/stuffed animal collecting.
and all i can say is thank god i dont have a wife/girlfriend, have to pay taxes/bills or have a sailboat... a RC plane will do me fine for a while
ive calculated that when i run my savage for 2/3 tanks, 43% of the time i break something (only because i bash it hard) so ive given up on the dam thing and chucked it into a box where it can sulk quietly, i payed 3300 for the dam thing in the first place, spent about £200 on upgrades and parts and if i sold it id be lucky to get £200 for it, £300 i will never see again...
but with a plane your not on the ground most of the time so you cant break shock absorbers by jumping off large ramps and stuff and all you have to pay for is fuel and maintanence/cleaning equipment... apart from lawn-darting a plane or landing a bit hard you cant really break much on them... (but if you have a radio failure with a sav it can run away and collide with a tree breaking gears, stripping the steering servo gears, snapping driveshafts, shocks, radio gear, fuel tanks e.t.c)
Ah... feels good after a nice rant doesnt it?
foamy is relieved...
