Thanks, Mark. I don't really mean bashing in the true sense since I am by myself! Anyway, I've been in RC for over 40 years. Early on when I needed to learn something I had to go off by myself simply because none of my family or friends were into it.
So, that's what I do. These R125s are really an enigma to me though. The design is way bizarre and seemingly frail and yes, I see your point about expense. "Bashing" with others could prove to be a wallet emptier. Kinda like helicopters!
