Well fella's, the print shop said they could not scan the templates and the plans because i had taped the templates to another sheet a paper, they were concerned that all of the tape would ruin the templates or damage their machine. They did scan the instruction book if any one needs that, let me know. Sorry, not the outcome we were hoping for.

I’m glad this tread is still going. I made my maiden flight … well, I remember the movie Titanic had just started showing.
I still have the YS 120SF for power, fiberglass cowl of course, and aluminum LG. No major repairs, but had to re-cover. UV and heat is hard on Monokote.
And it’s STILL the best flying plane I’ve had.

To make templates you can just use all the kit parts and trace them onto butchers paper and still build the kit. Your call. The main thing is to have the templates. I have a set but they aren't the best. Make a template of every part though, even the little things. That way you can get a copy of the templates at Kinko's and share. As bad as mine are I have shared with three other people. I would like a better set myself.
Trying to give this important thread some life! I won an Ebay bid and will soon be the proud owner of another CG extra kit!! My goal is provide my 20-year old Extra a brother. I am not sure the status concerning the availability of templates for this kit (I know people over the years have mentioned that they have copies, etc), but I would be happy to give it a shot to produce them as well. Is it best to trace all parts the old fashion way, or is there now a more efficient high tech method? Would directly scanning parts such as ribs work (perhaps by first darkening the edges with a black marker? Ultimately, I would like make these digitally to pass out.
I hope all of your Extras are still flying and in one piece!!!

I have scanned parts for people and sometimes they come out great with good lines, sometimes not so good?I did use a marker to make templates of a HOTS for a member and had them in a file, that worked. Give it a try, that would be great to have them on file to hunt mail out to people. I mailed out the builders plans for the Howard Pete right here on rcu once.

I moved back to Calif. And haven't gotten a place to fly yet and I'm not set up to build so no longer post very often on rcu. The CG Extra is a special plane to me so I'm still logged onto this thread.I did start hunting again though and I'm cleaning up the property, cutting a lot of dead trees. Once it rains a few times I have weeks of burning to do then more chain saw work. Life in the country!

The best method i have come up with is just the good old traditional one of tracing the parts. I use a sharp drafting pencil and 36" bond paper. After the parts are traced you can take it to a local PIP printer and they can scan it to a pdf file for a very minimal cost. P.S. I get a length of bond paper from PIP too when needed.

All,
Building season is upon us in upstate NY as the weather is turning and the election over. I have decided to add to this thread and post my build of the Carl Goldberg Extra 300 and associated modifications to keep it alive. I will post pictures tonight and clear off the work bench in order to begin building.
