Hi Pete, it's not so much the cost of purchase but more the cost of repairs and the time to get the parts.

Looking into 1/5 and 1/4 scale buggies next week, that ought to be real fun!! |
Hi Gray, These little beasts are 1/10 scale with huge brushless motors which are quite frightening. I did look at some big 2 stroke models in the shop and they weren't that expensive butyou need a big vehicleto transport them around.

Thanks Mark, I thought all planes and helis were covered under the Civil Aviation act which restricts their use.

Fr'instance...
An IOM (One Metre) club boat will only set you back about $1,000 to $2,000 but a really competitive boat will be around $3,000 to $4,000.
Then, we get into the Marblehead class. (Next one up.)
These can cost you up to $8,000.
Of course, they can cost a lot less if you build them yourself. 
They may not be quite as noisy or quick as those cars, trucks & planes but the
excitement factor has to be experienced to be appreciated.
+ You get a lovely sun tan at the same time.
Regs, L..
ps. This does not include the cost of the Tx, Rx set or the sail winch & servos etc. |
Sounds interesting but we don't get very much wind in this town, not very much at all. It would need a motor for sure.
