Any idea how much you have spent so far?

A forum for the proverbial airport bum who just wants to talk about anything and everything related to flying. Introduce yourself here !!

Do you keep track of your costs?

Being a teacher, I borrow other people's kids by the score. I don't need any of my own either!

I have a five or six page spreadsheet that I've built up to account for everything I've spent, and project what I will spend in the end. I look at it often enough, that at any given time, I can tell you within about $500 what I have in it, and what I expect to have in it after the DAR inspection.

I have to look at this three ways...one, it's a toy. Two, it's an investment. And three, in my case, it's a debt. Because of the last two, I feel I have to know what I have in it.

doing pretty good. got some issues going on but thats the life of a cancer patient...flying r/c helicopters..micro to 50 size...what a blast that is..i can fly because i have a huge yard,neighbors think its cool....especially "the ones that smoke".i get three months at a time. but this last time some stuff came up and i have to get some cuttin done i suppose...i taught my son to fly rc planes. the simulator made it way to easy for him. took off and landed his plane after about 30 minutes of real flying time...several hours i guess of sim time. hasnt trashed one yet. i hope to see some of you guys get to do the first flights on your birds. i check in every so often and snoop around. I dont miss building yet but i do miss the airport and flying. good luck to you alland merry Christmas.
