Help! Does Flitetest sponsor supplies?

[TheOldMonk]

There are - but imported, hence costly.

Kits I can manufacture here easily - my own designs. Only thing is with Flitetest I can have electronics supplied cheaper in bulk. If Flitetest comes in here - they can sell tried and tested kits much cheaper.

Tell you what, why don’t we get some community members to share some plans with for you to make for all the kids?

Hey, That's Really Sweet Of You. I currently hand-cut kits on versions of Sig Cadet, Cubs, Some Pushers, and Quite Some FT Designs. It is all non-business. It does not cost much as well - Depron, Thermocol, Coroflute, FishBox, really cheap to procure.

Real challenge is electronics - that is much costlier than normal due to legal and trade regulations. Only if a company like Flitetest gets operations at scale in India or a Local Company dedicatedly starts manufacturing them in good quality - then the problem gets resolved. I was seeking FT support more in these lines.

Like Flitetest Opening Asia / India Operations or Setting up online D2C channels / Micro Manufacturing unit / Franchise Store etc.

Minus the tx and rx how much does all the electronics cost per ppp?

 

[Mr Man]

I have some ideas. Why not buy off of eBay?

You could also use cardboard instead of foamboard I’ve seen it done in the past.
