Quoted from PhilGreg:I think people think to stop being so hung up on all this... just take how much money you lose on this whole hobby (buying the machine, all the tools, all the restoration, etc. etc,), add to that the profits you make selling machines (if any), and then divide all this by the time you spend on it.
My guess is it's waaaaay cheaper than any other hobbies the average man spends their money on.
Bingo. I've been flying RC heli's and planes for years (hobby grade, not cheap toy store stuff). I've got two helis with so much in them I could literally afford to buy two mid 90's DMD pins with the money I've spent on them alone.
Hobbies ain't cheap. If you're out to make money, you're going to be disappointed in the long run. The only caveat would be some barn/garage find.
Also, consider the fact that alot of restoration is for things that people will pay for and you probably don't lose as much as you would think.
