What sort of baffles me is, when you're spending over 10k in this hobby, why don't people look into building/buying light aircraft? Sure, some people may enjoy the challenge of flying models more, but as for me, I'd rather be in the air with the stick in my hand.
Afraid of heights, afraid of crashing, never really cared anything about being a pilot.
I have been fascinated by RC models since the early 1970s and finally got into the hobby in the late 1990s.
