Default RE: Kit Cutters


ORIGINAL: Gray Beard

I haven't built that plane but before you send your plans in for cutting you may want to go over the plans and measure everything. I cut my own kits but it is a rare thing to ever get a set of plans from RCM or MAN that aren't loaded with minor errors like the ribs aren't drawn correctly. Chances are good that none of the slots are the correct size for the stringers. If the plans say inked by Joe Demarco measure real closely!! He inked for everyone and I don't think he ever used a ruler. No sense sending them in to a laser cutter unless they have been straightened out first. If the cutter has the plans on hand then they have probably gone through them to make sure the sizes are correct.
Thanks For the heads up Gray
Because the wing ribs are all the same, exept the wing tips, i`m thinking in scratch built the whole thing. Thanks Again
