Why are we surprised?? I remember paying 20 cents a gallon for gasoline in high school, I paid $3,000 for my first NEW car, and I can still remember when Motel 6 REALLY was 6 dollars!! (not $38).
On the other hand I can also remember (the same time frame as above) when a 6-channel Pro-Line radio with only two dual rates, no servo reversing, no end point adjustments or computer wizardry was over $700. Look at what you get for $400 now in a radio. But overall everything is more these days as are salaries. In the end I agree, what we get today in planes and radios is well worth the price. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill Malvey RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
