As a new builder of a Vans airplane with $70k spent so far without a rivet driven yet, it would absolutely be my problem if Vans goes bankrupt over this.
"Vans apologist" or not, we need to work together to get through this. I'm doing my part by being patient and trusting Greg, Rian and the rest of the Vans team to make the right decisions moving forward.
Yes fair enough. I wrote heaven forbid because that would be a horrible and very unwanted outcome. I worded it poorly. More correctly, I can only control what I do about these LCP. I can not control Vans. I'm not 70K into this, but I am about 50k. I won't be throwing good money at bad. Safety comes first. Second is peace of mind, I don't have to deal with these substandard parts in the future. Simply put if Vans no longer uses laser cut parts in the future than why would I build with them either.
