Lazy thinking. You can directly market from Poolsville. Taxes are very low in Poolesville.
Non-sequitur
If I were to market this stuff myself from my local, I would be purchasing from Asian manufacturing houses to be able to compete on price.
This is exactly what the "big boys", e.g. Hobbico, Horizon, etc. do.
What does this have to do with trainers and slope soaring again?

And they use robots in manufacture these days, so wage costs are not a significant issue anymore. Germany and Japan both manage, and their wages rates are higher than your own.
And yet most German and Japanese products are predominately manufactured in China or incur a non competitive cost when not ( e.g. O.S. engines manufactured in Japan ).
Again what does this have to do with any of this?

The way you are determined to crush all my points suggests that you aren't familiar with having dissent in the ranks.
If that's what you think, that's your perogative.
However it doesn't make your original suggestions any less poor advice.
I'd be equally against advising people to stick their hands into a spinning prop too.
Get used to that.
