    I was up at the Jet World Masters in Enniskillen last weekend, and saw some of these things. I was reliably informed that a jet like this is upwards of €10k all things included. I think the finals of the JWM are on today (the competition has been running for the past 10 days approx).

    I was watching a demo flight video recently of a Eurofighter Typhoon r/c ....... it did a first class display and right at the end did a nose in .......

    completely destroyed .....

    a very unhappy pilot .... :(

    Aaah .. the sight of a grown man cry .. brought on by a major setback in an extreme sport .... even though we know that every model plane has it's final flight someday.

    It didn't show the major kicks they got from their model up till it's last flight though. :-)

    I was watching a Heli do it's tricks this afternoon ...... very experienced pilot ..... turned round for a second and then heard a lot of noise ..... one very big Heli (about a metre nose to tail) in a very sad state, after diving into the grass ........ gears stripped ..... tail boom broken ...rotors in bits ..... etc etc .... :(

    $$$ knows what it will cost to fix .... :rolleyes:

    One of the reasons wood is popular as an airplane material, is that crash damage is cheap and easy to repair, some balsa and lite ply and glue, and hey presto ... ready to take to the air again!

    Helis require replacement parts to get back into the air, costing €€€ and beginners always forget that, which is why it is sensible to learn on a plane, then graduate onto helis, rather than starting on the helis themselves.

    Repairs are after all part of the running costs of aeromodelling... like model fuel is in cars and trucks.
