News from Dave Diels

Hi All, Not much has been happening this year. Here is the 2024 rundown so far.

1. I am still discontinuing the converting of the Grumman F7F Tigercat kit # 23 to laser cut kit # 23-LC. I discovered some problems to correct on the fuselage and I was too tired to stay working on it. It was taking all my design time with no time left for others. I am hoping to get back to it sometime in 2025.

2. I've been spending most of my time finishing the two more conversions (Kit 26-LC F4B2C/Hawk III and Kit # 32-LC TBY-2). Both are 80% complete and should be finished late next year. I added some changes to both and need to revise the original plans for both. I found printer paper and problem with my printer. However since 2023 started several medical problems including me and my family have had. So I have not had much time to work on Diels Engineeing projects.

3. I did get started working on a laser conversion of another printwood kit while waiting for other things like working on family and house chores.

4. I again completed restocking my shelves with all my current laser cut kits by last Thanksgiving but didn't have time with some advertise.

5. So after working through various tax I finally caught up with several orders.

Right now is the time to order a kit or two. Prices have gone up for most if not all materials from laser cut wood to plans paper and even shipping boxes. I have not raised my prices and hope to keep the prices where they are now. I am expecting I will be forced to raise prices by the end of the year. I have all kits in stock as of today (5-8-24).

Thanks for your support.
