Over in the Everlasting Gobstopper "21st Century Volksplane" thread, the question has arisen regarding the use of 3D printing and things like NC routers for a "modern" kit/plansbuilt plane. Lots of opinions have been floated, but I'm curious to see what the larger group thinks, objectively.

So let's poll the heck out of this question! The poll is open for this weekend only.
