Info:

• Some experienced Cherry-builders did write programs to for laser-cutting of sheets and CNC-milling of mechanical parts. If you do not have the equipment for machining mechanical parts, you could (if available) have those machine-work done in accordance with the material specifications.
   
• The Swiss company Mecaplex has a die for for the two canopy parts (Plexiglas). Compared to pulling the Plexiglas on your own. Mecaplex provides top quality parts, but produces in small lots only (in 2003: app. 1800 SFr for both parts). The coordination of binding orders can be performed by BX Aviation.
   
• Many Cherry-builders are helping each other with pre-build molds (cowling, upper deck, wing-tip...)
   
• Further details for your support can be discussed during the building phase of your Cherry BX-2. 
   

Note for our US-builders:
The plans are metric. However, I did build about 45% of my Cherry S/N 159 living in the USA. For most of the metric material needed, there is a substitute (in inches) available. I purchased an used a reasonable amount of tubing and sheet metal from Aircraft Spruce for my Cherry. Though, I kept all bolts metric according to the drawings, they are available in various stores and US-online-shops.
