I am starting to come to the realization that I like building more than flying. Once the creation of the model is done I seem to lose interest in it. At this point in my life, my spare time is in very short supply as well. Which is kind of leaving me time for building OR flying, but not really both. For me, that is an easy choice. I will keep a couple of personal planes for when the urge strikes and I have time. SO. This leaves me with looking for something to do with kits when they are built. I have never before sold a plane I have built, they all die on their own one way or another. With that in mind, here are some questions:
1) Where do people sell most of their models? Clubs? Online?
2) Is it reasonable to simply build planes, then sell them? I don't want to take work for pay, because I am slow with the limited time I have. Someone might wait a LONG time for a model from me.
3) Should I cover in basic colors (all white, yellow, etc.) as a sort of ARF that lets people do their own trim? Or only build the airframe and sell it as an ARC?
Any thoughts/comments/experiences welcome.
Thanks,
Mark
The Bridi Trainer 60 or RCM Advanced tranier MKII would sell. A Great Planes Trainer 60 just went for $151.00 on *bay and a Kit Cutter's kit of the model is $200.
These are basically the same model with different names.
Just My opinion...
