I'm glad I found this thread, I've just had these plans printed and am about to start preparing for the cutting of my "kit" in the coming days. If there are any little tips or tricks that I should be aware of, I'm all ears.

Danny
This is the biggest project I have done, so I would suggest a good cut from plans, a friend cut mine on CNC I think better than laser,cleaner cut.
Thanks to Martin

Ply from Avonply Bristol, good prices

Good luck

Geoff

Started back on the Orlic, got fed up trying to get closed loop materials from model shops, so I went to the fishing tackle shop and guess what , they had everything I wanted at a reasonable price.
