please clarify what you are doing here. Are you trying to make fun of me or the child with dyslexia?
FYI he only misspelled one word in the original post. Thats why i suggested Word since that program doesn't just check spelling it also helps with grammar.

If your going at me,I will retort and you wont like what I have to say.

ps; this proves the crew here at the flying giants are hypocrites! It took less than 1 hour for them to delete my post that wasn't making fun of any one yet this pos post has been left here all day thats begging for me to get nasty with a response.

Ya me too, but I am working hard to get my first 50cc plane and I know I am really gonna like it and going to appreciate it. =)

Although I am suprised to see many people are getting support from the parents, although soon it won't matter because I am getting a car in june\july and so will be just fine on my own, and another year after that "ON MY OWN"!! =)

Just turned 29 and my mother gave me $200 towards a DA-150 for my b-day.

She also bought me a .40 extra300 and an OS61 for x-mas when I was 17.

And I bought my first plane, (aircore cub, attack-4 radio. fox 50), with the money they paid me to paint the whole out side of the house. (2 story-1800 sq ft) that was a bit#$.

I get help from my parents during times like Christmas and my birth day but I pay for the rest of the stuff my self. I started saving for a car when I was about 12 or 13 but once I got into the hobby I decided to just get a cheap car and put the rest into planes. There is still no way I could do this without my parents support in allowing me to spend the weekends flying not to mention all of the other things they help me with outside of flying.

Dont let it, Be happy for them. Others good fortunes arent taking any thing away from you.

im just greatful i have a 50 cc plane but it feels like as soon as i was able to purchase it, i have to turn it around and sell it! right now i think cars are a little more important than planes.....it was a tough choice, a 33% or a nissan 300zx! what would you choose?

[Flatlandman]

I had one of those or actually my dad did and i drove it hehe. The one he had was a longer version and i bet i could have hauled a 50ccer in the back of it If i kept it uncluttered . Another thing about that z i drove if i didn't get into it much it scored better mpg than my 4cyl Nissan P'up

oh well, maybe when there 40 years old, they'll still suck up to their mommy and daddy for this and that, and won't appreciate anything they get. I'll I want is one stinkin 33% maybe, no Comp-arfs, carden, just a simple hangar 9 or great planes. It seems like everything is so overpriced in this hobby. You have to "know" some people in the hobby to get anywhere. No offense.

Anybody want to sponsor me, I will show them what I can do at our local club, except we just got about 4 inches of snow.

[youngflyer]

bro, you are 17 there is a lot you can do. yeh your not going to like to work but no one does.

[3D_Kid]

i love to work, but these other kids just ask and ask, i know, my friend Tristan Kline the 5 year old who could huck better than most people, just begged for cardens and DAs, you may remember him.

[volcomsnows2k]

My dad taught me to fly when I was real young. I remember him getting mad when I would do something wrong. Now, its totally different. Its a weekend spent with my pops talking and doing what we love. He supports me all the way!

Stop whining kid, you sound like a little girl. Some people didn't have ANY RC planes when they were growing up because they had to use their money for other things like insurance and a car to get to work and school, and prior to being 16, I wasn't allowed to work. Beyond that, a lot of people have to save for an education, and can't afford to throw their money away on toy planes.

Your life isn't that bad, you are on here, and you have something to fly, there's plenty of us (myself included) who were unable to get into this hobby AT ALL until their late 20s due to finances, and to hear an ungrateful little 17 year old on here complaining "because he can only afford a 40 size and mommy won't get him something bigger" is an insult. Grow up.
