      trex 700 - 1600? 570 - the same? Charger 400, trex 150-400? mini quad 1200? About 5 grand? Thats reasonable? Remember you dont spend that every year unless you are Tareq....

      I just dropped $960.00 on some new batteries today. I guess it depends on how much attention Crash pays to me in any given year. LOL

      I`m pretty sure I`m much happier not knowing how much I spend each year on helicopters, gear, and traveling. LOL.

      You forgot the 2k for the discovery pro... I think I need to stop for a while... no wonder why my back balance ids looking like it is...

      Forgot to list the 3 sets of packs for the 700 all new packs for the mini...

      Yep time to slow down a bit... since I pretty much have something in every class that's decent... including fpv...

      Gosh - I don't want to know...
      I've been going hard at spending the past year or so.. probably could have bought a nice car
      with the same money..

      But as Fredo says - go for it while you can as tomorrow maybe you can't any more :(

      PS: On the topic of a nice car - I drive a crappy ford festiva trio that was given to me and a $3k van I bought recently for helis. so whilst i spend a lot on helis at this point in time, my cars are pieces of shiz - so overall, I spend no different to someone with a nice car and 1 or 2 helis... it's just i spend more on the helis than other things most people buy... My furnature at home is minimal and I don't drink or go to restaurants or out much..

      God one of the only things that stops me from getting more is that I can't fit them in the car... if I can't fly it weekly I kinda wonder what the point is...

      @jockstrap you are a true enthusiast! Sacrificing all else in the pursuit of heli-enlightenment! And @Manyc the words spoken by Brody from the movie Jaws applies to you: Quote "Were going to need a bigger boat!"
