Here's a method for making a straightedge so you don't have to buy a precision one from a machine tool shop.

jester thanks for that link. Very interesting. In my previous post the "framed for level" should have read framed for straight. I have been thinking about a straight building board. Today I purchased the wood for the frame and the Sheetrock. I selected the straightest pieces they had. I will run a string line to check the pieces for straight including the melamine sheet. I stored the melamine as flat as I could. I hope to get this finished this weekend.
I went by the RC airfield today. On Tuesday and Thursday the retires fly. Just my luck, the only one out there was the grounds keeper cutting the grass runway. The last few times I visited, the airfield was locked. I need to find an instructor to see if I can get some stick time.
