JohnG. | 19-Jul-14 14:18 | Better drawn then crunched! :-) |
simpleflyer | 20-Jul-14 14:34 | How did you 'draw' the parts to the balsa sheet, Poppy? Nice work.

poppy | 20-Jul-14 21:35 | 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. |
simpleflyer | 21-Jul-14 00:27 | 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,

David Duckett | 21-Jul-14 06:21 | TLAR...that looks about right? :) |
poppy | 21-Jul-14 11:32 | Don't know what TLAR means, but all freehand. |
simpleflyer | 21-Jul-14 23:43 | Thanks, David and Poppy, for the information. |
