This is what destroying likely perfectly good parts looks like because you can't definitively prove they weren't laser cut. Had to cut these open to retrieve the nut plates, lead, and counterbalance weights that Van's doesn't provide through LCP replacement. The worst was taking the Sawzall to the fiberglass wingtips that have been riveted and then fiber glassed in place on the elevators to gain access to the counterbalance weights.
