I have recently found this website and I have learned a few things about this company just searching around. What I need to know is if anyone has ordered any laser-cut kits from this company? If so how good was the quality and prices?
Thank You.

Go for it! I just got a Cessna 310Q kit on the way, but have seen a friend's, (one of the early prototypes) and it's awesome. All parts laser cut, accurate, and the parts even have wicking holes (for CA) cut in- how cool is that!. Due to allergy concerns and personal preferance, I'll be using titebond. Plan and instructions are on CD, and are well thought out and drawn. The final version of this kit took 18 builds to get "just right", so I hear. The price is a little steep at $179, but I think it's worth it for what you get.
I'm planning to do a full build article here on my 310Q starting in the next week or two, lotsa pictures.
(I'll have to clean off the workbench first. [:'(] )

I recently purchased the sport scale f-15. The laser cut parts fit great, the plans are detailed. The instruction manual could use some work, but all in all its awsome. The way the wings built up had to be the best part. I stay away from kits because I dont want to deal with wing spars, but the spars were interlocked in balsa and built up easy!

I have started the f-15, i am about 3/4 done with it. definatly a builders model. Goes together great but you configure the whole hardware set up. there are some pictures in my gallery

Steve, sorry it took so long to answer, yes I have started it.... decided to not do the build thread afterall. Just not enough time to do everything at once right now. I have the fuselage finished, just sanding and coveringleft to do. The wing is still in work, lots more to do on that. The whole airframe so far weighs in at a whopping 16oz. - without motors, hardware, etc (I'm going to try to keep it around 3lbs, but that might be impossible)
What info would you like?

Update on the 310... most of the wing is done, starting to install all the equipment (servos, wiring, hardware, etc). Fuselage is coming along nicely, a bit more to do yet. Still trying to figure out what to power this thing with... it's going to end up around 4 pounds or so. Current pictures are in my gallery. [8D]
