I don't mean to come off like crab, But...........
if you can't cough up $5 , $10 or freaking $20 to watch the best of the best fly for a day,
then maybe this hobby is not for you.

I've spent $70 on a pile of 3mm depron. I've spent $10 on glue without batting an eye, A freaking servo horn is $10!

I mean.. the costs associated for the pilots to be at the TAS is insane. And yes, most of the invatational pilots have sponsorships, but most of these sponsorships do not cover a weeks worth of housing and travel and everything needed to fly. And most of the other classes pilots are paying all the expenses.

I mean for ME to be at the shootout, it cost me around $1200. And I arrived on Wednesday.

Some of the pilots arrived a week earlier. We are talking $25K plus for the Australian guys to be there. And thats out of pocket!

So $5 - $10 - $20... man.
It seems like a pretty fair bargain to me.
