Prices for this equipment are kept artificially higher than normal
Such a transceiver should cost about $12 if you buy them domestically in China. You would need to live in China and you would need to buy 1,000 units
Oh heckin' heck, why are RC Tranmitters $300?!?
It's an MCU, radio, and a cheap LCD, people! What the what!? XD
DSM? More like Don't Spend Money! XD
RC Airplanes are a wonderful and relaxing (depending on your craft, lol) hobby.
And it's also quite affordable with ready-to-go starter kits for just over $100.
But if you want to join an RC club to get access to an actual flying field, you have to shell out $50-$85 per year for the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) membership in the US, and an additional $100 per year for most flying fields.
I mean, if you're serious about your hobby (any hobby), that might indeed be chump-change to you, but it's really not a trivial amount of money at all.

The year was 2005. I had an RC obsession and a lot of money to burn. This is a Traxxas e-Maxx, probably one of the first fitted with $600 worth of LiPo batteries and a 24vdc power system. I used a Battlebots ESC. This thing was stupid for its day. I still have it. #rc #remotecontrol

It remains as simple. #s6, perp, runit, nosh, and even daemontools have simple chaining tools for the attributes and suchlike, and the original daemontools was doing restart on failure and logging, with tools for reporting service status, over a decade before systemd was invented, and before even upstart was.
A lot of the arguments about how great service units are are based solely upon van Smoorenburg #rc as a comparand, which is a fallacy.
@argv_minus_one @quixoticgeek @hector @cstross
Most people who make that argument don't realize that they're only talking about van Smoorenburg rc scripts, not about rc scripts in general, which in the likes of Mewburn rc and OpenBSD rc also put the common complex stuff into a library.

Or of discovering that /etc/rc.local ran somewhere in the middle of /etc/rc, not at the end. Or of putting /etc/rc.local under source control.
Fun fact: /etc/rc.local was deleted in 1998, and then got reinvented for Mewburn rc.
No, RC Rush isn't discounted in the Steam Spring sale BUT if you have a VR headset and you like RC cars, then it's totally worth full price!! Even more so if you like supporting small indie developers like me. Check out the reviews from lots of people who paid full price! They love it! And so do I, but I'm bias of course. Look for yourself. Lots of trucks, lots of levels and lots of PC VR racing fun! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1654800/RC_Rush/ #NonSale #NotOnSale #SteamSale #VR #RC #RCRush #indiegame #indiedev
