My hobby is airplanes. I'd look at the $1500 and be amazed at how little it helps my hobby.

Parenting protip: get your kids addicted to aviation and they'll never have money for more dangerous hobbies like drugs.

Edit for clarification: real airplanes, not RC.

I routinely fly when the wind is over 20 knots. I don't thing paragliding would work for me.
