Wish I had deep pockets. That's why I fly rag and tube. Even that is expensive when you add up all the costs. Just payed my raas membership this week. That along with rego is nearly 600. 50 lts if fuel for a mornings flying is over 100 for avgas and the thousands on training. You have to do the full $10000 training even if you only want to fly around the airfield at 50 knts. RC models are looking good again. Those new cameras you would think you were in the cockpit anyway.
Rant over.
