will anyone buy an ARF of SPAD (the coroplast one) for about 50$? it'll be a trainer of the size and everything else of the Tower Trainer.... the .40 size one..... so is anyone interested if I start a kinda small buissiness???

adb291088,
Since you're in India what would the shipping costs be? My first advise to you would be to check in the SPAD forum and do a search for ARFs, you'll find that quite a few have tried it before, but in all honesty it just can't be done to make any kind of living from. Most are lucky to break even. There are several of them that show up on eBay from time to time. Most sell in the $20 - $50 range. One of the problems is that once the people get them and see how easy they are to build they head off to the hardware store to get the parts to make the next one themselves, so not much repeat business. Best of luck if you do decide to go for it though.

I have to agree with Jake. It's way too easy for a person to just go to the SPAD website, print out the directions for building one, and put one together for about $6.00. There's not too many people who don't know about SPADs, and if someone doesn't know about them, they will find out pretty quickly from someone who does. A lot of clubs encourage newcomers to start out with a SPAD simply because they are cheap, nearly indestructable, and if you do wreck one, it only takes an hour or two to fix it or to build a new one.

Good luck on your endeavor to sell SPADs, but in all honesty, I think you're wasting your time.

The Kombat40 guys seem to get away with charging an arm and a leg for a few bits of coroplast and aluminium strip, so maybe its a case of establishing a presence and advertising rather than chucking out a few cheap planes on ebay...
