Commonly Asked Questions
What is a "Laser Parts Kit" ?
Commonly referred to as a “Short Kit. Typically there parts that are too detailed to cut by hand. Wing Ribs, Fuselage Formers and Doublers can be some of these. Additional materials such as Sheeting, Sticks, Cowls, Canopies & Undercarriage are not included.
Do you supply a Full Wood Kit" ?

A harder grade of balsa is used for laser cut parts which is acquired from Balsacentral.com. We typically use a Russian Birch and Aircraft Ply for structural applications and non-structural we use a Bass or Poplar Ply.
