Laser cutting
You can check out our capabilities to produce kits and accessories at www.foxlite.com/prod04.htm. There is a paper below in .pdf format that provides file information if you are interested in having parts or kits laser cut.
Husky
The Husky model we have kitted was designed by Dave Blum. Dave has won best of show at SEFF
2005 with this model. He has flown his with a GWS IPS power system and is now using a PJS300 brushless motor. The original model was built for rudder and elevator and flies fine. We took the dihedral out and added ailerons for a more scale appearance. It still flies well with rudder only but the ailerons are fun.
We used 3.6g servos all the way around. The white/yellow model in the pictures uses an
GWS IPS S1 motor system with an 8x6 prop and 2x340 lipo batteries. It also has a FlightLites lighting system with 5 LED’s. It weighs 10 oz. and hand launches easily. Dave reports his flies off water with no problems. We are installing a Himax 2208 brushless motor and the kit is designed to
accommodate mounting different motors.
The cowling, spinner and windshield are vacuum formed. Decals include the instrument panel, Husky logos, Flags and “Aviat A1-B Husky” lettering. Carbon rods and bent wire and the oar are also included in the kit.
Dave has many designs under his belt and many more to come (we hope).
Instructions for the Husky in .pdf format are below.

SAAB J21
The SAAB J21 was designed by Mats Johansson of MJD Models in Sweden. Mats is truly an artist. He creates all the
plans, graphics and pictures that go with his models. Visit his web site at www.mjd.se.
The J21 uses a geared speed 400 for power, although the new brushless outrunners are a perfect fit for this model. We used a Himax 2812 with a 3s 1500 lipo pack. Of course, you have to have a 3 blade prop for the full scale experience. We used a Vario prop 3 blade hub with scale reverse rotation blades. The prop ends up being approx. a 6.25 x 4.5. This setup gives an 11 Amp draw. This provides plenty of thrust with scale like performance. The model hand launches easily and the prop doesn’t get damaged on landing.
The kit will include many vacuum formed parts including the canopy and spinner and a full set of decals. Plans are in the works for the J21R jet version. This will use an Alfa unit with a Himax 2025-5400 on 4s lipos. The model is completely sheeted with balsa for a scale appearance. The kit will be self jigging with precut skins. Larger versions capable of handling retracts are possible in the future.
I asked Mats to leave the kit production to us and design a Draken and a Viggen
for EDF. Let's see what he comes up with.
Snotliner
The Snotliner was designed for an indoor race but has evolved into something more. It flies like a Hotliner, but it's'not. The model will accept motors with much more power than necessary. We have flown one with 150 Watts. I has a thin built up wing that is very stiff. This allows the high speeds and smooth flying qualities. Go fast without the huge pucker factor with a more expensive model.
