After a long planning process I'm finally ready to start the build! This project began in January of this year, when I decided to build my own Addiction XL, inspired mostly by the Thrilling flying characteristics of PA Addiction X.

The plane will also be entirely built-up from balsa and ply, except of course for the motor cowl and canopy.

Specifications
Wing span - 55" /1400mm
Length - 59" /1498mm

Drive System which I have is:-
Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 5045-500kv Brushless Motor
Turnigy Brushless ESC 85A w/ 5A SBEC
Turnigy nano-tech 3000mah 6S 25~50C Lipo
VOX 15x6 prop wooden propeller



it will be a scratch built, therefore it will not have any plan

Please dont PM me for any plans

Continuing, here are some photos of the laser cut parts themselves, The parts will go into the Fuselage as well as in the wings. Each Balsa sheet is only 28" long due to the limitation of the laser cutting machine, which doesn't have a cutting area that will fit full length (36") balsa sheets.
Size of Lite-Ply Sheet is 1/8" x 15" x 29",They contain mostly the fuselage parts, but some parts for the wing are of Lite Ply as well.

All this while I was drooling over Tanmay's excellent laser cuts  {:)} {:)} and contemplating how to whack off the complete kit.  :giggle:

I have been for long planning on getting myself one of these for my OS FS-30.

Cost seems to me like slightly on higher side (Being used to hobbyking laser cut kits)

Tanmay How does your cutting costs including raw material fare in comparison to the above two?
