I have been looking into setting up my own online hobby shop specialising in planes but trying to find kits is proving to be a monumental P.I.T.A [:@] I have spent many hours finding companys and writing emails, and the obnly kit manufacturer that was interested was so overpriced it wasnt funny. I got either no reply or negative responses from the big name manufacturers, and all the chinese companies are only interested in selling arf's. I looked into setting up to make the kits myself, but thats a legal minefield at best, as all the kits that people want are copyrighted etc and the royalties they want are beyond a joke. I am a CNC woodmachinist by trade and have seriously looked into setting up to manufacture kits etc and at one stage even had the backing needed to get started, but the issue of what people want, and the cost of even getting the plans and royalties etc, it just wasnt viable. Lets face it, everyone wants the big name kits, and if i started with my own or other unknown designs I wouldnt sell enough to even break even let alone be viable. I am still looking into it, and looking for various plans that I can use legally etc, but not in a real hurry, I have health issues at the moment. I havent tossed the idea out yet, just put it on hold for now
