So far, the cost has been a new 'fly-bar' ($6), and the discovery that paperclip wire is the right gauge to make replacement pins for the rotor.
Yee haaa!

Sounds like you are having as much fun as your Kids. I have not been hooked but am happy to supervise and take lessons from my Boy.

I am frequently on HeliFreak and arcHeli at the same time as IIS and am a member of the Namadgi Sports Flyers Club at Williamsdale.
Have always had a keen RC interest (apart from boats as I cannot swim).
Currently flying a Trex 700E V2, Blade 450x, Blade 130x and an Sbach 342.

They fly well my son is 14 and still getting used to it although it can handle the knocks well.
Ive had to modify my sons already and found a Chinese dry joint in the remote control but when I complete the final mod I think it will do really well for a first goer.
I will be working with my son on a quad-copter in the future though.

Gotta love the quality control that comes out of some Chinese factories. I've had to fix some toys that have had a similar problem.
