Agreed, thanks for your thoughts Ron.

I did find a neat aircraft being built using CNC methods as a kit. It is the JDT Aeromax here: http://www.jdtmini-max.com/AMax.pdf

Definitely along the lines of what I was thinking. CNC built, in this case with a CNC laser. But the principle is the same as what I was thinking of in terms of manufactured parts, easy assembly, labeled parts etc. I was thinking a bit more extreme, with a newer construction technique and providing the CNC files for people to do it themselves. In any case, I think we have a small initial team assembled and will resurface if all goes well with more points for discussion and wider input. As I said, might not work, but won't know until we investigate further and figure out if it is doable.
