Mods, please move this if you see fit...
So. I'm thinking about kitting one of my designs, maybe a couple of dozen copies. It's got TTW fins and is multi-stage. In thinking about kitting it, it occured to me that a buyer might not want to do all the stuff I did when I made it. So the general gist is, would you rather buy kits that have a lot of the work done for you (cutting tubes, couplers, fins, fin slots) or would you rather save some $ and do it yourself? Things to consider:
1) Do you want to cut your own fin slots, or are you willing to pay extra for pre-cut?
2) Do you want to cut your own fins, or are you willing to pay extra for laser cut?
3) Would you mind cutting your own couplers?
4) What about cutting tubes?
5) Rings? Would you cut 'em yourself? Would you mind modifying generic ones supplied?
How much extra are you willing to pay for these items?
Assume that you'll get a usable NC
Some folks have the "give me the tree and an sketch and I'll give you a finished rocket in thirty minutes" mentality/capability. Some want E2X. What do you want?
