RE: B-36 build thread and free plans
Mike,
I believe that if you look at the thread that precedes this one (see first post in this thread) you will find that someone told me how they used a laser printer to make their templates, layed them face down on the balsa, and then gave them a light dose of isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol transfers the image to the balsa without shrinking the paper or the balsa. The alcohol evaporates very quickly and you are left with a paperless template. It sure sounds great. If you try it out, let me know how well it works. It would have saved me a lot of time. I used a photograph adhesive to hold my paper templates to the balsa sheet as shown. If you leave the paper on the balsa for a day or two it can be very difficult to get it off. I should try out the suggestion just to see how well it works.
