Also Horizon does dealerships, and I used to use Global Hobby, don't know if they are still around. I used Sig as well. Takes a lot to get one, but once you get it set up, it is good. They require a store front. They won't let you run it out of a basement.

Plan on $50,000 start up. That includes rent, paint, shelves, and all the stuff that it takes to start up a business. Then call the companies that you want to do business with and have a letter of credit from the bank or plan on paying cash for your first order from the suppliers. Then be ready to deal with your customers and remember Tower pricing. I did it and I am still here after 10 years. Also you can't sell everything to everybody and must have a thick skin at the field will you see a new plane and you did'nt sell it. You will never do it right and some will tell you that all the time.
Hang in there and in 5 years you'll see day light. If it stops being fun sell out and just fly. Dennis
