Default RE: Precision Cut Kits

I'm building a Hostetler Lancair that precision cut kits cut for me about 15 years or so ago for me.
So far the parts fit is pretty good but I am only on the fuselage. I am just working on it slowly.
It builds straight and the only problems that I have had are do to my not thinking my next step through thoroughly.
Now that I have made a couple of stupid mistakes I have learned to think before I glue.
I like the way it is turning out....
Going to modify it some too.....make the cockpit open and close and put retracts in the wings and nose.....I couldn't find anyone who makes the original type landing gear.
It's a fun build but may take me a couple of years to complete because I am flying a lot and repairing my "not so successfully flown" planes.
I will have them cut another kit for me when I'm ready.
The only other kit cutter that I used was Custom Cutters.......they are now out of business (I think).
Go ahead and have them cut one for you.
I cut my Dave Platt spitfire from his plans and it went together nicely. Drawings were very accurate.
Enjoy yourself,
Ron
