Can't stop spending money..

[matt35]

Heliaddicts is definitely the right phrase! I can't stop spending since taking up flying heli's, i've just ordered one of these from Fastlads

BLH1699 Eflite Blade 450 Aluminium Carry Case

A bit sad maybe, but at least i can carry my blade to the field without feeling self conscious about carrying a cardboard box plastered with pictures of a toy heli through town!!

[DaveJones]

I challenged myself to buy most of my heli stuff secondhand, not sure if I actually save money though, just seem to buy twice as much!

once you try it you cannot get away, trust me, I know!!! I have left the hobby 3 times, due to various reasons, but now I am on the look out for another heli lol, I need to fly lol

[matt35]

i keep saying i'm gonna have a frugal month to save up for my next heli!!!

[cjcj1949]

Don't forget the plastic bags and bin liner for taking it home in. Something magnetic can be useful as well. I've thought about a metal detector but I don't know if I'd need a cheapie or a good one. I used to think helis were expensive, now I realise I'm just short of money.

I don't have a problem spending it, just paying it back

LOL Mark

[matt35]

i bought my dad a metal detector for xmas a few years back so i've got that one covered

[snotvis]

I have strongly considered taking up Cocaine...it may work out cheaper!

altho the eventual plastic surgery won't be cheap!!!

[snotvis]

The way I fly, plastic surgery is inevitable.

[matt35]

lol very good! i can't afford to crash buying all these extra little bits and bobs!

It plateaus out. I have really cut back on Heli orders this year, there's no need for them.

As long as you buy right, look after your gear; you get a fair amount of your money back anyway.

[matt35]

i have been looking at 600/700 size electric heli's for my next one but have just recently found a little lust for a nitro heli....cos you can just put tank after tank thro it however i'd eventually like to do some aerial video stuff so i think i'd be best to stick to electric...

[sacko]

Nitro is a lot cheaper to start off with compared to electric.

To make electric work properly, without hassle; you need to spend some serious money IMO. Saying that, it will still work out cheaper in the long run.

An Align 600efl sounds ideal
