Help with studies

[chris hamilton]

Having used the message board for some i am hoping fellow modelers would be willing to help with my final course work for Business Managment and Admin.

I have chosen to have a RC internet business as my model for my exam seeing a am a plane nut i thought it only suiting, and would like to ask any willing people to answer a few basic questions about there hobby, any help would be gratfully received.

Here are the questions i need some answers for:

1. how much do you spend on your hobby. 500-1000 1000 and beond

2. how much do you think the current credit crunch will affect your spending habbits. a little, or not at all.

3. do you buy from the net or a model shop.

4. would you prefer to buy a product from a shop so you can see it or buy for cheaper on the net.

5. what are you into, eg scale, sport, electric etc.

6 Finally, do you find your modelshop has all the lastest stuff, and can get spares easy.

Thanks for any help given my exam date is the 15 of no, but hoping to fit in some flying in between.
