You are so right on the money glassdoctor. I am sure that most of us can look back at what we have spent to date, and realize that if we had any idea that we were going to spend that much we would have found something cheaper. I know if we had told our significant others that we were going to be spending $5k or more a year on an RC hobby some of us would have been kicked to the curb

. I saw the realization up front and knew that I would have to spend a little bit each month to get to where I want to be

. I am still working on that now. The hard part is knowing each month that I have to wait a little big longer to get the next shopping cart full of RC gear because I want to keep the spending under control and not use any credit to get there. I pay as I go, and so the finish line is paced out for months and even years for the dreams that I have. That is a huge commitment, and too much of a commitment for people with other requirements on them.
