LASER CUT KITS OF PARTS INTRODUCTION
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 Belair 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.

Purchase the parts from Belair and the plans from Free Flight Supplies and you will have a head start to a first class model.
Both Leon and I are interested in your thoughts on what other models could be added to the list. Remember that you are not limited to the plans on this list. You can even get your own design kitted as well.
Spencer Willis is using Leon's services to produced his range of kits see Spencer Willis for details of designs that are available.
