Need A New Plane Help!!!!
Ok guys need a winter project to build. I am looking for a 40 size laser cut kit to build I want it to be a full fus not a profile. It needs to be fully 3D capable I am having a hard time finding what I am looking for. I would think that there is a kit out there.

Mike,
Thats kinda small and not what I would really call a .40 size plane, you can find something better. Be patient check around. I will see what I find as well. Off the top of my head. What about the "U Can Do 3D" 40 size, the Tower hobbiess "Uproar" (Good Plane), The Funtana or Great Planes .40 size Extra 300S all of these planes are between $50.00 an $170.00. All can be found on the Tower Hobbies web site. The Uproar and the Extra are kits, the Funtana and the U Can Do 3D are ARF's

Whats the big deal with a laser cut kit over die cut? I build both types and if they are manufactured by the better companies they go together fine. I have had some laser cut kits that were really bad. We can't pick a kit for you because your the only one that knows your tastes. This is a loaded question to ask at best.

Mike,
I agree with NCIS. If you want to be that fussy it's your time and money, however you will limit your choices severly. I prefer and good Die cut over a lazer cut. You will need to sand off the lazer burn on the edges for a good glue joint.
