Default How many of you get support from you parents?

Hey guys,

I am wondering, between us teens, how much your parents support you in this hobby? I mean I so many 16 year old guys that have 35% ers, how the heck do you guys afford that!?! I've in the hobby for 4 years, 2 years r\c and no where I've I ever thought of even being able to afford a big plane. On top of food, my daily expenses, I've only got a few bucks left to save up. Do your parents like pay it for you completely. I've got 2 seperate jobs that I work, and it's just enough to squeeze by sometimes.

Now for the first time I can get a 50cc plane but won't get an engine for it till the month of august, and then theres all the radio compartments i'll need to get for it... . I don't even know if I should get this... but the feel of having a big plane is pretty sweet though. The only reason though that I can afford this is that the school is giving me a 2 weeks work experience, so thats where the money is coming from...

How often do they help you out to get to the feild? Or even stay and watch you fly, and see what you can do. Mine are all like, ill take you to the feild but you'll need to find another way back, or vice versa. If I do get a ride over and back, which I am very lucky to get every 2 months, they start bit%^&g and say thats all I get from them for the next while...

How about you guys?

Thanks

LeBlanc
