All parts drawn.

Better drawn then crunched! :-)

How did you 'draw' the parts to the balsa sheet, Poppy? Nice work. Al

Tracing paper over plans to draw outline, then transfer from tracing paper to balsa using a sharp tip #2 pencil. Outlines made by pencil tip in balsa outlined with a ballpoint pen. Easier for me than cutting out each from plan and gluing to balsa, then cutting.

Do you use the aid of a straight edge and draftsman curves to maintain the part shapes during the transfers from plan to tracing paper and then to balsa? Or do you use freehand and TLAR? Looks a trifle tedious, but as you say it saves a cutting step, also it preserves the plan from which you are working. I think I will give it a try. Thanks, Al

TLAR...that looks about right? :)

Don't know what TLAR means, but all freehand.

Thanks, David and Poppy, for the information.
