I agree with you expressing your opinion(s) We are all entitled to, just as others don't want to hear/read them.
Let me tell you this.
My intrest in this hobby began when I was still building Monogram/Revell models when I was a kid. My first r/c was a $30.00 ARF (no servos kind) electric foamy that you could find at a tool store. (Harbor Freight for instance.)I flew it for a minute or so and the wind would take it away. Not high winds. No matter how hard I tried to turn it and fly it back to me, the wind would take it right back in it's own direction and the plane would get farther and farther away.
I was intrigued by my now former co-workers who started up spadtothebone.com. After seeing the free easy plans and basic design and inexpensive build theory, I really wanted to get started. I always wanted to have a Top Flight Corsair. What an awesome plane! That's waaaay to advanced for me right now. I like the idea of starting cheap. What, $30.00 in materials and $150-$200 for the radio and servos? I can do that!
I'm not trying to persuade you, just merely giving my story.
P.S. I have decided that it would be more feasable for me to go gas
I'm a new Daddy. I won't be able to afford much.
