Jeesh!

That's a first.

I'd like that in writing, notarised and stamped  .

Why I was asking for assistance...was finding "proper" line art multiple view drawings to eliminate speculation about airframe differences within
the Fairley designs. There were many revs in one or more and few in others. I want to offer the revs with the greatest number of detailed parts.

Thought that was simple to understand but apparently not. Considering the small number of votes for the Fairley design it will not appear in initial
offerings.

Doc

MAC has owned a 36" x 24" Epilog Fusion M2 for five years. I have posted both still images and YouTube video on RCSB showing
our Epilog cutting sandwiched polypropylene foam core instrument panels, cockpit tubs, fuselage formers, landing gear mounts,
horiz flying stab cradle, and other A6 items. Because a laser must be vented it is kept in Sam's office. As for glass layup, molds
and fixtures were moved back to Kentucky prior to going to our new, aka dependable glass guy in Newport News, VA.

Not asking about the A6 I mean these wood kits that you're advertising (Im assuming they're wood kits) are y'all planning on Sam doing all that as well as the A6 stuff, or do you have an established cutter in mind? Then the glass parts for them will have to be developed molds made etc... Big task for a one man band.

Doc,

Typical time to print and laser cut each Jack Lynn Bale design is under three (3) to five (5) minutes. Glass
and vacuum formed parts are pick items from standing shelf inventory of two (2) sets each. Production
time calculation is based on digitized planset print/cut times.

Retracts, EDF, ESC, batteries, etc are drop shipped from manufacturer. Because we have utilized poll results
to define customer preference the two (2) standard sizes of sold-as kit/plan minimizes order turnaround and
standing shelf inventory of make-to-shelf items. All fiberglass parts ship from the Virginia location.

As a result of the Jack Lynn Bale poll results, enlargement sizes are being calculated to determine material
upgrades resulting in "X" percentage enlargement to be listed in our second poll to permit subscribers to pick
preferences.
