Jul 15, 2023 Laser cut parts Category: General
Seems the $h!t is hitting the fan for Van's regarding the switch to laser cut parts. I had no laser cut parts in my wing or empennage and just a few in my fuselage. I don't recall exactly which ones, but most are access panels that I'm not too worried about. I know there were at least a few ribs and miscellaneous parts that have made it into the construction to date but in general I have been impressed with the quality of laser cut parts. I've looked over a few of the remaining laser cut parts on the shelf and holes are very clean. None of the dramatic notching or slag that I've seen in photos from others. I don't think I have a lot of exposure to their quality issues. Maybe RV-10 parts are from a different vendor, or I had a good run. I have not seen any cracks in dimples or riveted holes.

I understand everyone's frustration though. I will hold off some remaining laser cut parts for further direction.
