Plans cut and parts cut:
With the today's temperature going to a blistering 50 degrees, I thought I'd do some work on the P-47 where I can go out to the detached shop.
With all the major components done on the B-25, I removed those plans and put the P-47 wing plans on the building board. At 110", only a few inches of table were left. I used a long L angle bracket to insure both wings are parallel to each other at the main spar.
Next, I cut out all the parts from the parts sheets and put them with their respective plans, insuring no parts are missing. Lots of blank paper was left around the parts outline to make it easier to cut with the band saw.
The canopy frame is wider (rounder) than the formers but that should be OK.
The wing support parts FWS-1/2 were the only parts not on a full sheet: this was academic since I always make the fuse nose 1 inch longer (1.25" since 20% larger) anyway to reduce the nose weight, and I needed to make these two parts 1.25" longer for proper fit.
I used some loctite spray adhesive to secure the paper templates to the plywood.
The firewall and F1 used 1/2" 7 ply. F3-4 got 1/4" 5 ply since the engine box will be secured to these.
