I'm also disappointed that all of my favorite kits are gone, but this fact has turned me towards a different part of the hobby. I take a kit I have stored, or try to get one on ebay, and then create a drawing to reproduce that kit in autocad. I have done this with a royal corsair, and just starting the same process for my favorite sport plane - the great planes ultra sport 60. Here is what some of the preliminary work looks like. No templates for me. I just print out what I want to make and glue it to the wood and cut it out. I find it quite gratifying to make parts from my drawings. Its as exciting to me as flying. When I get the drawings done, I plan to do a thread to show everyone they can still have gp version of this plane.
I don't want to take the fun away from you, but the Ultra Sport 60 plan is available from RCM:

I'm aware RCM has a plan, but I have built two of GP kits, so I very familiar with that kit, plus I like the fact that I wind up with a digital file. I can easily make any adjustments or modifications if I want to change how something was done.
