RE: Do scale kits have a future?
I think there could be a market for a packaged deal from companies that currently just do laser cutting. Make it more like a kit. A kit of laser cut parts that come with plans and fiberglass parts. Most laser cutters offers hundreds of airplanes but you have to go buy your plans somewhere else and then get your cowl, wheel pants, etc. somewhere else too. They could even be short kits, but still have the plans and glass parts.
