Default StarChaser Sport jet 8-14lbs

I decided to pull out my old StarChaser and fit it with a k-60 this past week. It is in rough shape so I pulled the molds out and decided that I am going to do some
re-moulding/tooling and get them up to todays standards. Better intake lips, hatch and gear doors,

Guess my question is? Would there be any interest in me making extras?

In the past I made 30-40 kits of this design and it is an easy/fast flier.

Not really sure. I have enough supplies inhouse to do a dozen or so. Supplies have gotten more expensive. Everyone is different when it comes to building some better than others and with ARFS being mainstream I was thinking something like 500 for kit foam/balsa wing version . 750 for full composite and 1000 for composite with gear. If I could get a good price on some in bulk
It would still be a kit/arf so some assembly required and paint.

Last bunch I made were 400 or so .do not really remember. Try to keep it cheap you know.
