Last time I looked at RC planes, I figured I'd never be able to afford it hundreds just for the radio, then hundreds to thousands for a plane! Ihave a long history of getting into hobbies at the beginner level, and never bothering to learn enough to get out of it, so I'm hoping that'll hold true here, too. Though I'll probably sell one of my motorcycles next spring, so if I get too far into this, I can buy planes instead of a new bike. 8-)
