Guys, If you're upset about spending $800-$1200 plus radio on a molded ship to fly a couple of seasons of TD with, try spending $300-$400 on a DLG that will only live a few contests if you're lucky (ONE if you fly golf at the nats.) Then take into account the fact that you'll spend a full week of aggrevating work with tweezers and jeweler's screwdrivers getting it ready to fly. We can't manufacture them any more cost effectively than we do now, and the average joe can't "roll his own" without spending a fortune in tooling. Same goes for unlimited and F3j... Get used to it. Fly what you like to fly. If you feel the urge to be competitive, be ready to spend. Be happy at the end of the contest in fifth or sixth place if that's where you end up. If you aren't happy with fifth or sixth, go buy a couple of Icons, practice four days a week, ignore your family, quit your job, and maybe in a couple of years you can finish second instead. Then if you still aren't happy, try golf, I hear it's easier to master.
