Hi all,
I have a mid power rocket in mind and found a kit that was close to what I wanted. I added the cost of changes that I want and then compared that to buying individual parts to .make the exact rocket that I wanted. The cost difference was significant with the scratch build being much more expensive, $87 for the kit and changes and $127 for scratch built. I might be able to save some buy shopping around but then multiple Shipping cost....
I really enjoy the building and design aspect. Is this a typical situation? Does one lay a premium for doing it yourself?
Your thoughts please.
Cheers
James
