thanks guys but i'm about to start college again and i dont have a car yet. I also have to pay a portion of my tuition ( my scholarships and parents pay the other portion) so i'm kind off short on cash too. I was wondering if there was a cheapo model that did not have to cost more and i could either fly in the mornings in some empty field on campus or just at a park in my home town on week ends. I want to eventually get my privet pilot licence and i would have wanted to keep myself busy with RC planes while i save up money for the real thing. I also looked at that beginer plane tutorial but the prices just hurt so much. The planes were at about $100 then the engine at another $100 and the remote for yet $200 more. Are there any decent - not too pathetic models on amazon.com i can glance at?
Kul,
First off don't wast your money on your pilots license. 1 it cost way to much to get your private and if you're going into flying for a career you will never get your money out of it. Now you ask how do I know this? I have been flying for 27 years. Professionally for 22. Yes I love to fly but it's a tough way to make a living. I use to fly for the airlines and that good career is gone and now I fly corporate and there just isn't any money in it. Your money is better spent on R/C. I agree with everyone else. Save your money and start the hobby off right and you'll be glad you did. Just my 7 cents
