Default Regarding LaserLizard...

I am very interested in the Ziroli Corsair short kit that is for sale at the LazerLizard website. I am not quite sure what comes in his definition of a short kit. What does it contain (ribs, formers,etc.)
And for those who built the Corsair from Jesse's kit, what other materials did you buy for the wood construction other than his short kit? Thanks in advance!

See if you can contact board member "ProfLooney". I believe he has LazerLizard cut all his kits.

Default Regarding LaserLizard...

Hi, I have purchased two Laserlizard kits, all within a week of each other. The laser cutting that is done by Jesse is first-rate quality. I will never cut my own kit again. All parts are numbered, and match the plans exactly. The prices is what gets me. The prices are well beyond worth it. Give him a try, I will guarantee you will be satisfied.
As far as what is included, all parts minus sticks, sheeting and balsa blocks (If it applies). Go to Balsa USA to order your sheeting. They are priced right,and I have always received excellent quality from them.
By going this route, I will still save tons of money. Don't go to a local hobby shop. Prices seem to sky rocket. I only go there in a pinch. Hope this helps.

I just got in a Smith B-17 a Ziroli P-61 and a Ziroli P-38 from Laser Lizard and they all look great. I am going to be getting in all my "dream" kits while his pricing is this good. He can't stay that cheap forever. This balsa is nice quality and the parts are well marked. I Love the way he ships his stuff and I can buy 3 kits for the price of one anywhere else. I prefer to buy my own sheeting as I don't always get the sheeting quality or thickness I would like from the others. Just e me if you have any questions about his kits!

i have seen his listings on E-bay, and I checked his feedback. Seems everybody is impressed with his work. i think 1wolf has it pegged. Soon he will be able to raise prices and stay backed up like a lot of other cutters. Right now his prices ar really low.

I got a Smith TU-95 Bear cut by Jesse about 350 to 400 pieces each and everyone of them matched grain for grain to the plans. I will never cut parts myself again.... Jesse you have my business..

Jesse is the man,

you want it cut, or even vectored and then cut, he's the man.
Don't worry about the rest.
Great customer focus.

Default Thanks, one more, guys!

OF COURSE NOW! I will purchase a few kits from him. I like how the pieces are numbered! I do speculate that his prices wont stay down forever and I think he knows it. Im not going toget into the whole business ideals/ergonomics thing, but you know at $130 I'll be all over it. I dont really care if it goes up 50 bcks or so.
Yeah, I'm in!

Thanks,

I've had Jesse do a couple laser kits for me and the workmanship was excellent as was the delivery. He's upfront and straightforward with me on pricing and is even helping me design the laser cut sheets so as to minimize excess cutting time.

I highly recommend Jesse for all your laser cutting work.

Thanks Jesse.

I have three of Jesse's kits so far and am overly impressed. The workmanship is outstanding. All the parts are laser-etched with their corresponding location on the plans. I'm waiting for him to have the Ziroli P-51 ready and then I'm getting that one also. I'm sending him the plans for the Vailly Tempest for him to cut if anyone is interested in that one.
Needless to say, I'm one very satisfied customer.

Default Tempest

OB Doc he has the Tempest as I did it earlier this summer and just Finished up the Z P-51 :0) He would have the typhoon and the Seafury too but I dont have the plans for them. One thing I might mention Guys and Gals, and that is if you dont see a certain kit up on his site email him and ask him as he has several kits he doesnt have up on the site yet and also because i just havent gotten to vectoring some of the other plans I have for him yet but if you ask for something one of us already has the scans for he can get it vectorized in no time. I just finished the Mick Reeves 1/4 scale Spit and I know thats not on his site yet along with my 1/3.5 scale Hurri.

See guys I started scanning in all the plans I had and decided why not start tracing them all into cad format so when i printed and built them they would be fixed and all the parts would be symetrical etc and one of the things i did for myself and glad that Jesse continues to do it is that every marking that is on the part on the plans is transferred to the laser cut part thus you dont have to draw your guide lines on the parts because they are already there !!!!!! when i met jesse with the old guy they werent cutting plane kits and i talked him into it and sent my vectors to him to have me a couple kits cut and been a happy customer ever since. So Jesse you get all my business

Default Giving credit where credit is due!

You guys are too nice to me! Thanks, so much for all of the kind words... you make me blush. But, I must say I sure have never been happier..... since I started my own business. I cannot believe the response from my happy customers! I love rc and love cutting wood! Let's all thank the Lord and Proflooney because (due to our friendship - he provided all of the ziroli cad work that he had drawn on his own)........I was able to offer such a large selection of short kits when I first started... That man is a master! And a good friend and customer , too!!!!! When I left my old job, good ole Proflooney sent me his tracing files to help me get a good start! And the list continues to grow as he and I work together on more drawings! I thank him everyday! Good flying and looking forward to the future and the wonderful building days to come! Thanks again, guys!

PS I am about to take some pictures of the just finished Ziroli Corsair short kit that Prolooney and I just finished drawings on! ( Which I believe is what this whole discussion started out about! hehe)
