given that is it still in production by SIG - I dont think anyone would be cutting them by laser.

you can get rib sets that will be similar (which might suit your purpose) from RSM www.rsmdistribution.com  or Brodak - www.brodak.com

Have you tried SIG direct?  Better yet if you have plans the template is not that hard to make for a Twister or even the Banshee, another good design.  A peice of plywood cut and sanded to size and you can cut ribs all day long. H^^

A year or so ago I commissioned a few laser cut Fancher/Twisters from RSM. It didn't prove a financially viable project for me, but you are welcome to ask Eric if he'll cut some for you. In fact he's welcome to put the kit in his range if he wishes, so far as I'm concerned.

As pointed out, you can contact SIG directly. Wood quality will be what it is.

However, if you want contest balsa, or want to build as a C-Tube or D-Tube wing, please contact me either via email or PM. I believe I might be able to assist.
