Costs more than the real thing? Do you have to buy a hangar? My spouse has trouble with the train collection . . .

 

[Bartman]

Probably a few thousand by the time you've bought an engine and the radio gear for it. No hangar but a pretty sizeable spot in the garage for when you're not flying it!

I've been tempted for years to buy a big RC Decathlon, I actually had one that was about the size of the ones above but sold it when we were planning to move to a smaller house. Fun stuff.

I love large models. They can be a giant pain, though. I shall have to post my largest model, now long gone (thank God) with a giant increase in usable hangar space.

I've got a 1/3rd scale Cap 232 in the garage, if someone wanted to buy it I'd be happy to part with it just to get the space back! But I love flying it!
