Default Lazy Ace

Hi Navigator,
I just received my order of balsa to start on the Lazy Ace. I'm also in the middle of a Dynaflite Chipmunk so I'll have to juggle the two. I had the plans copied so that I could cut out the components (ribs etc.) from the plans and glue them to some material to make the templates or to cut out the actual component. One of the more experienced members of the NG mentioned using a color marker to outline the component on your balsa. Then, after you cut a little oversize, you sand until the color is gone. I'm going to try that process. I have a G23 gasser that I hope to use on either the Ace or the Chipmunk.
