Default Opening a RC Related Hobby store

You gotta stock what's moving AND what gives you good profit margins. If you can stay in touch with your customers' wants and needs than you can do OK providing the profit margin is there. Unfortunately, R/C airplane products have the lowest profit margins in the hobby industry. Plastic models, rockets, and trains have some of the best profit margins. Also, keep a close eye on your overhead as the rent (or mortgage) and the utility bills could bankrupt you.
