Re: Which type(s) of products do you prefer - PNP, RTF, etc.
I usually look for kits and ARF planes. I would stay away from selling $300 RTF EDFs since anybody interested in those jets will probably have a good TX. I think RTFs versions are only really useful for beginner pilots and high-wing trainer types. Once you're ready to move up, you should already be thinking about a getting a decent TX.

I prefer PNP as well...its an easy build, if not then a kit. I rarely buy an RTF as I already have my own TX. I think this might be a good thing to note is that your current selection of aircraft seem to be tailored more towards intermediate flyers that probably have their own transmitters. I would probably stock more PNP products than RTF. Unless it is spektrum stuff, I would prefer PNP to a BNF. Hope this helps.

I think only trainers need to be available in an RTF version. As has been stated by others, most of us already have the other necessary required equipment needed to fly our planes. I still have a lot of usable parts remaining from several deceased trainers and other damaged aircraft <smiley image="smiley_beam.gif"/> If we need specific items we can always order the extra batteries, recievers, etc.

I agree with what most here have said, as only the trainer/beginner or high wing types will most likely be sold to those that do not already have a radio. Most of the intermediate to advanced aircraft will be purchased by those who already have or are purchasing a more advanced Tx as they have increased their abilities and desire to stay with the hobby.
I had a Transmitter from flying Helicopters so my first plane purchase was a BNF.
Since then, I have a collection of Rx now, so I have been purchasing PNP versions lately.
Friends at the field I fly in, like the KIT versions for spare parts.
