Default cost of getting into turbines.

I am sorry you took my comments the way you did. I did not mean to infer anything about money, other than I have seen many people get over there heads. If you don't believe me I can show you the turbines we have in for repair after a minor crash that have been in the shop for over a year because the guy could not pay to fix them.

As for kits I don't know anything about your new ARF, I hope it does well. Please reread my post, I was talking about .45 CONVERSIONS from old kits.

I go to MANY events and talk to a lot of people, they cannot even build an ARF. They are looking for people to build ARFs. These people cannot CONVERT a DF kit, especially a little 45 one. All I meant to say was I hope people really know how to build before they try to CONVERT a 45 size model. As Chuck mentioned the people getting into jets at my field pay to have ARFs built.

Be that as it may, I believe you have rolled up a few yourself--and at what expense!

What is this supposed to mean?
