KATAMAX 3.0- Span 18" (45 cm), Length 19.3" (49 cm).

Not a beginner's kit. - £12.00 plus post. Image
POT SHOT- Span 16" (40.6 cm), length 18.8" (47.8cm). POTSHOT is a unique model, designed not only for the fast growing outdoor catapult launched glider scene, but for the use of carbon fibre as an integral part of its construction and a "Tip-up" wing D/T (the only kit available to offer these features). Reviewed in the June 2003 issue of MODEL FLYER and recommended for fun flying or competition you can become a "Hotshot" with a POTSHOT. Not a beginners kit. - £10.00 plus post. Image

I am regularly asked what items do I need from the list to make a particular type of wing, fuselage or complete model. Please let me know your needs and I will see what I can suggest. We can discuss these needs and I can produce a customised package of parts. I have put together a package of items for F1B flying surfaces see custom kits
LASER KTS
The laser cutting of parts in small volumes and to a high quality has now become a practical proposition. Leon Cole of BELAIR is now producing a range of kits that include a number of free flight models. See Laser kits for more details.
Leon has kitted a number of models from plans in the Free Flight Supplies catalogue. Details of plans below, kits available from Leon. Others are in the pipeline.
