Mark, I think you would be hard pressed to even break even selling a built plane.
I would be happy to break even or make a slight profit. I just like to build and eventually I will have a basement full of models if I don't move them out somehow. I agree on the ARF thing, they are so cheap that it is economically impossible to justify building a kit or from scratch (although scratch is closer if you are careful). Of course, you get what you pay for most of the time, too. I KNOW my glue joints are sound and if I ever covered as bad as many of the ARF's I see, I would be ashamed to show anyone. But the rest of the world doesn't necessarily see it that way.
