What to build next?
Looking for some companies that are putting out laser cut kits. I've checked out sky shark r/c just looking for something different. Any suggestions I'll fly anything any size don't care. I just finished a pica 1/12 Fw-190 that was my first taste of the joys of a laser cut kit. I belive if more kits were laser cut more people would build.

I just finished a "Laser Cut" Goldberg Eaglet 50 to teach a friend to fly. This was my first trainer 25 years ago so I thought a quick trip down memory lane might be fun.
The laser cutting left a lot to be desired. The plywood parts had large and numerous retention tabs that would not allow me to separate the parts with a hobby knife. I had to use my sroll saw. How many "beginners" have a scroll saw? The notches for the spars on the ribs were not cut cleanly and required me to cut them out by hand. Anyway, you get my point. The old "die cut" kit was a lot easier and quicker to assemble.

Sig puts out some great laser cut kits. Most of the parts are self aligning and easy to seperate from the ply/balsa panels. I am almost done with a Sig 4* and have loved the ease of building.

Iflyg450,
Check out www.precisioncutkits.com. They have ALOT of kits to choose from. All of their kits are not be laser cut, but they will send you a list of plans with a price list that shows which kits are laser cut. I have seen a couple of their kits that are not laser cut and the quality is outstanding and the prices are very reasonable.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Fly safe and have fun!!
