Just found this thread and I will share a few notes.

Someone said that CAD plans and a laser cutter will check for accuracy. Well.....someone hand cutting from hand-drawn plans SHOULD be checking for accuracy also. We had a big problem when we first cut kits for Rich Uravitch's D-VII....it was computer drawn, but it was WAY OFF!!!!

It took us some time, we had to tell our customers "the parts don't match the plans in this section or that, but they are the parts that make an airplane" Rich, my old man, and I got it all sorted out in time and now the plane is just fine.

Regardless of what system you use (although I have many reasons to like hand-cut over laser) the key is attention to detail. Mistakes DO HAPPEN to everybody from time to time (between the designer, the kit cutter, the builder etc) but the key is to pay attention and to stand by your product.

Larry has a pretty good rep (by the way....I thought he used lasers). Once you let him know what is going on I am sure he will make things right. You might also want to start a thread just about the Hurricane plans to see if anyone (particularly scratch builders) have run across accuracy problems (I have not cut kits from these drawings and do not have first hand experience).
