RE: Carl Goldberg Kits
I am building a CG Gentle Lady kit to replace an old Gentle Lady. The new kit is laser cut and is the first kit I have built that was laser cut, most of the ones I build are old kits from the 1980s. I expected everything to be perfect but a Gentle Lady has 40 ribs and a third were a 1/16" too long. That was minor but the bad part is when you have a sheet of 1/8" ply pieces and they are not cut all the way through the sheet. I hope this is not typical of the laser cutting process. The manual tells you to install 1/16" ply triplers on the formers but they are not in the parts list, shown on the plans, or included in the kit. If you want perfectly cut pieces get an old OK Models Pilot kit. Their die cutting even in 1/8" ply was impeccable.
