| My goodness, that's a lot of ribs. Orville and Wilbur were making sure the airfoil remained contstant. Perfect layout going! |

| Thanks, guys. The fun starts when we do the covering and it gets funnier with the struts and thread reigging. |

| looks fun, how's the quality of the laser cutting and wood, I know it isn't meant to fly but quality still matters |

| On the one I built the laser cutting and wood were perfect. It may not be meant to fly but it's surprisingly sturdy. |

| I have to agree with David. The wood on this one that I am building is excellent and the laser cutting is equally excellent. |

| are all guillow's laser cut kits like this, or do they have low quality wood? |

| At this time only the Wright Flyer and the 200 series kits are laser cut.
The method used to cut the wood is independent of the quality of the wood. Laser cutting does not always imply good quality wood just as die crushing does not necessarily imply low quality wood. The correlation is likely that a low cost kit will use die cutting and poor quality wood to save costs while an expensive kit allocates more money to laser cutting and quality wood. I do not know if Guillow's has been using better quality wood in the laser cut kits or not, all I know is that it is not going into any of the die cut kits that I have purchased. |
