You can order direct. I have built their Gladiator, and it was NOT an impressive kit. Wood selection was amongst the worst I have ever experienced, heavy where it should be light and light where it needed to be heavy. I wish I had just replaced just about everything.
These are the old Complete-a-pac kits, and they are mighty old. SOmething to keep in mind is that these designs date back to the early seventies or before, and what was considered good performance back then for a scale job, and what is considered good now, are two different things. Incidence angles and such may need to be changed.
I really want a Swordfish, and they have the only kit around, but I think I would rather build it from plans. In the long run, you will spend a few evenings cutting parts, but probably end up with a much nicer airplane.
I have not built any OTHER of their kits, just the one, but I was not that impressed.
