Ok, well, I lost 3 $3000 dollar pattern ships last year. 9 grand.
I replaced 2 of them. So that's another 6 grand. One of my Imac ships has 3500 in it at least. I could lost that in 1 second. Ohter people have 5-8 grand in them.
Don't see how you can compare motorcross to Rc planes.
$1000?? What does that buy in an Imac ship? Maybe the servos.. LOL

The only planes I have with less than $1000 in them, are my foamies and small electrics. Which in each, I only have 3-400 in.

Obviously you are new to the hobby. You may not know the true costs of some of these planes.

Glad to hear you are having a good time with the sport though!!
