Default RE: Kit Cutter First Experience

Laser or hand cut does not matter much. I beleive it just makes the cutter more flexible in that he can make runs of one with out losing as much setup time. The precision of the part is what counts. I received an Ziroli Ercoupe cut from The Aeroplane Works. The cut was PERFECT. Not tight or loose. The part needs to be tested after the cut in an actual build. If all works then you have something special. I would expect problems if you just scan plans in and do a laser cut with out checking afterwards that indeed every thing is as should be. I also have some laser cuts from Bob Holman. I have not been able to put these together yet.
