Services:
This is the service that allows you to send us your plans in a scanned bitmap
format so that we can electronically trace the parts on the plans. We then export the parts to a file that can be
sent to a laser or CNC cutting service.
Many old plans are just too skewed or distorted to make good parts from. When we see this situation, we'll let
you know and since we do not want you to be disappointed with the quality of our services, we offer an alternative
to the 2D Plans Tracing and Parts Service. This service generates a partial 3D file of your model which we then use
to create GOOD parts from. Very old, hand drawn plans often end up going to this service.
This is the service that converts a three view picture into a 3D model. We then use the 3D model to create all
the internal structure within the model so that it can be built. We then export the parts to a CAD file that can
then be sent to a Laser or CNC cutting service
Have something you want to create that's a little different? Got a cool idea for a model? This is the custom 3D
and parts file generation service. This is where we can help you bring your dreams to reality.
This section of our website offers you many tutorials, videos, how to's, and all the training you might need for
3D CAD modeling. We also offer lists of resources including how and where to get your 3D CAD software.

LaserFlight 1:3 Scale (6m) Slingsby
Type-13 Petrel Short Kit
This is a laser cut short kit somewhat based on the 1:3.5 scale Slingsby Petrel built by Chris Williams in the
UK. This particular model design was commisioned of me by an avid sailplane builder and flyer in Southern
California. He already had the fuselage built and needed a set of wings. That's how this short kit was born.
Further requests from other flyers finally ended with me designing and creating the rest of the components
necessary to build the fuselage, rudder and stab. This kit simply needs long balsa/spruce stock and ply sheeting to
finish. The LaserFlight short kit comes with all laser cut ribs, formers, keels and numerous other components
necessary to build the model depicted in the plans that are also provided The Short kit has been upgraded with
a number of additional features that are possible with laser cutting and they aid the constuction process
significantly.
