but some of us older guys just getting into the hobby also have limited funds i have always wanted to get in R/C flying but was unable to until now i have a wife and 2 kids so money is tight
I for one have always had limited funds!!! the difference is in how I choose to spend my limited funds.
This wasn't an issue about money since paid instruction would be offered in addition to the traditional instruction.
But I have to tell you I got a real problem with the attitude of any new guy who comes up to me with a plane, radio, and gear then WHINES about not having the money to pay someone to teach them. That in an of itself says something about that person. Maybe its just me but I like to be able to pay my own way and not "owe" anyone if possible.
