This will be a project for the next few years. I live in Brazil too and things are 3x more expensive here due to local money. Not to mention the taxes if you´re importing even a simply book (40%+).
I won´t pay 60 local bucks for a blueprint, nor 400 dollars on a ballast tank, I´ll build myself my own stuff, but i don´t know where to begin...they won´t help me either....
To become a member of a NON-PROFIT org called subcommittee you have to pay 30+ bucks for 1 year.......................
Familiar with this site?
