Good Afternoon I think cost in any sport is way up there if you want to be competitive... Look at where F1 cars are at now..!! Everything is expensive these days... I cant race cars because of that expense... Is that fair to me?? I want to race!! Doesn't matter! It is just the way life seems to be.. More money.!! I see where some pilots are banging the fact that it doesn't cost that much in material to produce a hand launch bagged wing.. Well your right!! But if it was that easy, They would all be making them.. To be honest with you, I wouldn't want to make them. I think there would be lots of nasty chemicals and fumes that I personally wouldn't want to breath.. I am sure there is a way to protect yourself from this. But on the same hand , I don't know how you could get totally away from it... I thank the people who are always trying to improve the ships we use.. There needs to be a thanks to the guy who first threw the dlg... It has changed the sport as we know it. I also see the frustration in trying to compete with them... I did get a Raptor. But haven't been able to throw it yet... So I will be on the learning curve as well. I will agree that there seems to be a new ship of some sort coming out all the time.. Weather it be a F3J , F3B, Open.. Hand launch.. And the chase gets old. I get use to a nice ship, and then everyone is hyping a new one... Oh! you got to have this one!!!! This is the ticket!! So I put the brakes on, Or we could be buying models every 6 months,,, I also try to keep the fun factor in competing... Don't need high blood pressure!!! hahahahhahahahaha Have fun!
