WildHare is among the best outfits I've ever dealt with for CS, has a number of different models which are well designed and assembled, is one of the more reasonably priced lines you'll run into with great models and support for the money. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend them....

YOu need to find someone who needs your assembly skills, or doesn't have the time to assemble. Your not going to buy a plane assemble it,and then get all your money back, its very unlikely that you would even get back 3/4 of your money back, with this economy.

Do you like to build or like to assemble? If you like to build I'd suggest you check out AMR RC which has probably the best kits made. All new age technolgy in their kits which you dont' find in BalsaUsa, SIG etc. Get one of their trainer 26's and build that and you'll find a buyer but like everyone has said you'll never get your money back out of it. I've got lots of Aeroworks planes and they are the best in my opinion but you'll have that assembled in a couple of days and have to move on to the next project. Jerry.

Check out http://www.carf-models.com/public_carf/pages/ They are the best quality 3D models out there by far.
