I tend to agree with Localbuyer, the most logical way to market the kit in the states would probably be to license it to be made over here. Archie is right too, most Yanks aren't willing or don't have time to build a kit, especially when there is an abundance of arfs (artfs) available built in the orient that are just so dam cheap. Personally I enjoy the satisfaction that comes with building a kit and having it fly better then the stuff my buds are flying and when I am done it is unique as I made the decisions as to how it winds up looking and the options that it carries. I also appreciate the confidence that comes with knowing that the joints are glued properly and the plane is square.

My building table is a little too full right now to worry about this one too but after the holidays I may well order the kit or (more likely) order the plans and have a kit cut by one of the local companies that specialise in that sort of thing. The plane really does appear to fly very well and cloesly resembles what I would create if I had the talent to do so.

I will say this though, the plane is the perfect size for me. I prefer planes that will fit in my vehicle in one piece, or at least don't require more then a few minutes of assembly at the field. My quarter scale and up planes wind up collecting a lot of dust while the smaller ones get worn out due to the convienience of transporting and minimum of hassle at the field.
