I came across a set of plans that had rib drawings for stick or router cutting (Ragwing RW 20 Storch replica) and was wondering what the differences are. It would seem that stick build would go together pretty quickly once the jig was built and it would be easier to match than router cutting. The router cut seem like they would be lighter and you wouldn't have to worry about glue and gussets.

What do you prefer and why?
