3 KITS ARE PRESOLD- 7 more needed to pull the trigger.
I have had several conversations with Eric Rule at RSM about the possibility of laser cutting a kit ,for me personally, of the KA - 10 because there is a existing PDF plan that could be drawn into CAD for laser cutting with a few hours of work.
However, the cost of doing the CAD work to produce just one kit makes its economically unfeasible to produce, at least for me. After talking to Eric, it appears that it would take at least 10 pre sold kits to offset the cost of getting the model into CAD format and that is at a minimum.
The cost of the kit would be comparable to any other model of this size shown on RSM's website. This would be a complete kit with a built up wing, not foam and it will be cut by RSM with contest balsa.
In any case, If any of you have any interest in this, please PM or e mail me and let me know. If I can find at least 10 people who are willing to commit for a kit, I can start to work with Eric to get this done.
We can also keep the price lower by not including hardware, sticks and sheeting or in essence a short kit. All laser cut parts needed to construct the model would be included of course.
This is basically what the KA10 looks like
Sincerely
Mike Griffin
