Hi Guys,

Here are some Pic's that may clear some things up. There's pic with the wings joined without the template. Then a Pic with the template and a few variations of both. I know it may sound like a simple question because it is a template, but however the instructions are super vague and what I am saying here is the interpretation of these vague directions. They tell you to use the template to drill the dowel alignment holes in one wing half then to do the same to the other wing half. Then to remove the template and glue the wing halves together. But as I looked at it and thought about it I started to think that the fit was better between the 2 wing halves with the template installed and that by leaving in the template which is 1/8th " thick brings some strength to the wing joint since we are beefing up the plywood joint there at that location. Also the fit between the two wing halves seems to be a better fit between the 2 halves as well. Just a thought I had as I sat back and looked at it. Of course the more I looked at it the more I couldn't decide which way to go???? LOL........ So I figured I would pose the question to some of you guys.

Thanks a Bunch
