When I build parts like the ones you took a pic of I use spray adhesive (3M 77) (just a little spritz goes a long way) on the back of the paper and just put it right onto the balsa. Cut and sand to the lines and you are all set. If you went lightly enough with the adhesive the paper will peel off easily. Too much and you will want to use some thinner or sand it off. I've built several planes using this method.

Why not use the rotary pizza cutter w/ the teeth? then easily connect the dots.

sir crashallot

i dont own a pizza cutter. iv tried everything and it wont transfere going to try thiken the lines up on the toner see if it does it then

sir crashallot

iv figured it out, all you need is an iron with a steam funtion on it.
1. lay down the piece of wood you wish to porint on.
2. freshly print out the pattern sheet (not important but helps print to transfere)
3. cut all the formers out not keeping to the lines but cut well oversized.
4. lay down the first print you wish to transfere onto the dry wood
5. set the heat on your iron to almost full and set a low steam seting (the steam losens the ink for transfere)
6. put plenty oif pressure on the print out and work from one side to the other qappliying lots of pressure.
7. remove the template sheet and you should have a good pattern there if its faint run round it with a pencil.

will put photos up of my formers as soon as iv done them, oh one last thing print fresh patterns out for the oposit formers as once they have been heated up and so forth they wont do a second round.

sir crashallot

heres a few pics, you cant see it well but when you see it infront of you the lines are perfect im not used to this new camera for close up shots.

sir crashallot

does anyone have the dimensions for a Cox 049 surestart, i need width height and length and also the average distance from bulkhead to back of prop. also are they any good runing inverted

sir crashallot

here we go 1-3 and 5-8 cut out just need to do the 4th formers as they were on too soft a balsa for my point of view. tip i founmd was to use the very point of your knife to cut them out and to cut the notches for the stringers out before you cut the whole former out

The adhesive paper method works much better.

thanks for only catching the shoes this time[8D]

sir crashallot

haha your telling me i made sure of that.

alcarafa

Just iron templates over balsa, they will print on it.

Other way is use carbon paper between plans and a piece of hard paper ( carton maybe ? ) this way you ll save your plans for future planes.

hope it helps.

sir crashallot

i already found that out early on today. cut most of the ribs out wont be long befopre i can start gluing

My Canon has a little flower that selects close-up shots. Perhaps yours has something similar.

George

sir crashallot

i think it has, il have to get the instruction box out and read it up, they make things so complicated, give me a pentax camera with a 35mm film with a 200 exposure any day

gcb

You got that right! I always liked my Pentax because everything was manual except exposure, and you could override that...but alas, mine is gathering dust since I went digital some years ago.

I think when I got my first 35mm SLR (Petri Flex V) the ASA for Kodachrome was either 12 or 25 (perhaps the 25 was Ektachrome).

sir crashallot

dont get me wrong the digitals great stuff but you have to work for nasa and get a degree to be able to use it
