RE: MRaerodesign Beaver??
I received the complete set of plans and the booklet from Martin about a month ago, along with all the fiberglass, metal, and plastic for the Beaver. I also ordered the complete laser kit including the floats from Jesse at Laser lizard, which has now also arrived.
The kit is excellent, as are the drawings and the booklet. This seems to me to be the most accurate Beaver available, and on floats looks fantastic. The fiberglass is also very well done, light but strong enough, and the machined parts are very well done as well.
I am really happy with the plans, they have plenty of information, and the booklet included is a well done and really makes assembly easy. martin also includes a CD with various Beaver images, nice touch.
I went with the complete short kit from Jesse, he had it cut and mailed out within about 1 week from my order, and it is very well done. The complete kit is about 8-9 sheets of ply and balsa, all are cut accurately, they fit the plans perfectly, and is really the only way to go. Based on my experience I can completely reccomend Laser lizard.
I have now picked out all the wood from the list martin supplies on the site, and am just about to get going on the kit.
It has taken me a bit of time to get all together as I live in the UK, but have been getting everything in Florida, ( wood, parts, laser kit, etc) so I have to go over each week to get more)
I am however about to start on the kit, and would be happy to let you know how it goes together, I do not anticipate any problems based on the quality of the parts and information provided.
I would reccomend this kit if you are looking for a Large Beaver.
