Thanks Gizmo....I think you're right....it is a lot for some wood I can cut myself. And Edwin.....great idea about the tracing paper, if you can draw a straight line while tracing ( I can ) the rest is up to the jigsaw and belt sander. Where do you get your tracing paper from?
The photos below show my first and current project...a 1/4 scale Piper Pawnee built from a short kit. Yes, over 80% of the wood you see came from my stock pile. Left wing is complete. Taking a break this week and I'll start on right wing next monday. After cutting most of the parts for this kit by hand or my own saws, I feel a little more confident about going into a full scratch build. The plus here for me is that the Agcat is a fairly simple model...nothing complicated about it. Alot of 3/8'' balsa sticks and some 1/4'' light ply for the most part.
