[NSRCA-discussion] Lasers

[Kelly Regan]

Just a heads up on cheap laser levels....

I purchased one last year from a box store to use around the
house.  I was working with it one day and it really looked off
to my carpenters eye.   I broke out my expensive 6 foot level
and that laser was 3/8" out in 6 feet!

I returned it for a refund.

Just make sure you check the accuracy of your lasers before
trusting your $$$$ airplane to one.
