It helps to have one of the RC helicopter distributors be a sponser too.
When a single light crash cost over $600 you tend to be a bit
conservative.
I don't fly RC any more, the real thing is cheaper and easier.

Don't know where you get that cheaper stuff., it probably costs $800 just
to start the one I fly.

Agreed! I've looked into the full size birds, would LOVE to get a
rotorcraft add-on to my fixed wing Private pilots license but just can't
afford it. :-( Or at least I'm not willing to forgo other activities and
interests in order to afford it. I could do it if all I wanted to do was
sit around the house and eat PB&J sandwiches for the duration. ;-)

I guess it depends on what he's calling a "light" crash. I'm flying top
line models and what I call a light crash will cost me "maybe" $200. A $600
crash would be a pretty big deal.

Fly Safe,
