Hey everyone,

(1.) Just wondering where Tower Hobbies and other such places make their planes that they sell?

(2.) For example the ARF's they sell and the Kits they sell??

(3.) Like the PT-40 Trainer or tower hobbies 40 trainer...offered by tower goes for roughly $70.00.... how does Tower sell this kit for $70.00 and actually make a profit? I'm currently completing a scratch build project and have thought about making it into a kit....and my kit would sell for more than the 70 bucks.

(4.) Sooo how do they do it??? The cost of the wood, laser cutting, plans printed, etc... will run me close to $100.00.

(5.) What am i doing wrong?


*I dont in any way want to single tower hobbies out here, many places are able to do this, just they seem to be one of the bigger ones, how do they do it?*


Thanks for your time,


David
