Not a problem will be returning to the shop this evening and wil get the dimensions and weights for you.

As for sending a CNC kit... I agree although we would love to build the fuse for you..  LOL

 

As well with a CNC kit what will make it easier is to package all contents into one tube and ship as one package to save in shipping and possible loss of one package.

 

It reduces your cost as well.

Tube would approx be  6" in diameter and all structural tubing can be safely packaged into it with no problems.

 

Do not have a BOM but plans will dictate and will provide all info required for construction of the aircraft.

The 2300 has shown a lot of interest and has been a work in progress.. we really weren't planning on selling kits to this fall in actuallity yet Don Fairchild has prompted us to "HURRY UP" so to speak. LOL

 

Things are going very well now for the designs and Tom Edwards

"TEE BIRD ENTERPRISES" now is progressing well with wing kits and cutting the parts out for the kits.

 

Our customers / builders are what will assist in the 2300's future as well!!!

 

We need people building / discussing / and telling us what needs to be done to make a better affordable airplane that will be known out there

 

It has taken us 5 yrs now to get to this stage and with loyal customers like yourself we will be able to make this aircraft a reality for alot of folks out there.

 

With the addition of Heintje and the website and additional info he just added onto the google group it shows our capabilities and progression of a kit.. We would like to see this from other builders.

 

 

Keep up the good work all and your continued support in the Laser developments and design and kits already underway!!!

Devin,

Realistically a CNC kit in box will be the way to go I think. You could probably send the crossers etc in a small box and the then the longerons seperately. Not sure would be the cheapest but I have a few contacts freight wise also. The weight shouldn't be too extreme should it?
The dead weight on a fuse would make freight a killer. I'll talk to my welder and see what he thinks. He might not want to weld a whole fuse up.
So basically, if you can quote freight for the cut kit or give me the packaged dimensions, I'll pretty much order one of those straight up.

I should be able to take care of the smaller pieces here, so when you have the plans ready let me know and I'll get the rest of the plans I need.
Do you have a BOM (materials list)? Obviously the plans will cover stick and pedal positions but what info do you have for things like airspeed/pitot installation etc or is this all to the builders requirements etc? Fuel tank construction and location would be another aspect info would be required on.
If you have a BOM, I can see what I can source here (the prices are crazy though - we pay at least 3-4 times the equivelant USD), or start buying OS.

Thanks

Not a problem
I will put together some info here and send another email to you.
 
Just away from the shop for 3 days " long weekend here in Canada and I need a break... LOL" but welding all weekend.. They tell me its a birth defect ... LOL
 
Will get the weight of the CNC cut kit in a box and dimensions for both a fully welded fuse assy and a kit in a box dimensions.
As for the plans. We do have preliminary construction dwgs yet I would like to just finish them off to a better completion. All in all with wing plans etc we will be selling for around $300 USD
For partial stuff like the tail group and engine mount and torque tube and pedals etc. More than likely will have ready to send out in 3-4 weeks.
 
And if willing to commit either way to a cnc cut kit or fuse assy I will send these for $100 to you so you can begin assy.
 
CNC cut kits can be cut in approx 3 days time ready to ship. They come with the fuse assy plans to complete the welding assy of all structural tubing.
As for standoffs etc we haven't come up with a formal set of plans yet will be completing soon as well.
This is the route Don Fairchild has taken and he is incorporating stuff as we come out with it.
 
Let me know your thoughts?
Obviously a tube kit in a box can be at your day via air in approx 1-2 weeks if ordered and you can begin the process.
As for Canopy it is provided by Todds Canopies and is the same as used on an EA-300

Devin,

Can you please give me the both sizes and the weight for the following (crated) so I can work out freighting and welding here etc? I can then talk to Chris and see when (I think you said 5-6 months) he is bringing his over and organise something.

• Welded Fuselage.
• CNC kit in a box.

What sort of price would you be looking at for the plans for the v stab, tailplane and other bits and pieces that I could get started on now?
Do you have a Bill Of Materials with a list of places to buy (ie canopie from Todd's canopies.)?

Thanks for you help.

I've registered on the forum so hopefully I can pick up some info etc.

Thanks

Yes we are!!
 
Good talking to you!
Below you will find the email address for both
 
Don Fairchild: A Laser Z-2300 builder in Alabama USA. He purchased our CNC tube kit in the box. And since has finished the welding of the kit. He built the tail assembly from dwgs provided which we will be completly redrawing for sale to builders so they can scratch build from the plans... See attached for a picture of his fuselage assy.
 
Chris Hamilton: A customer you might want to contact via email if interested in sharing shipping costs in the spring. We will be sending his S-1-11B fuse assy / Engine mount and wing components to him.
 
Let us know how we can assist and look fwd to working with you on the future!!

P.S. See attached for some pics of Dons fuselage assy of his 2300
