Glad to hear your sister is doing good........life is too short, no point taking chances. The cost of my Cap didn't surprise me, the cost to move up to a 33%-40% did, WOW. I think it's safe to say that just in radio gear to fly cost between $1500 and wayyy more. Just servos could be close to $1000. You wanna play, you gotta pay......... got to go and buy some bigger marbles..........
