RE: strip planking
Ok, I finished strip planking a P-26 a couple days before reading the article that was linked to earlier, so I wasn't too concerned about the question I asked earlier about cutting angled pieces. I finally thought about it for a minute and figure out what the issue was. The quote from the article is:
After each pass of the stripper, turn the main balsa sheet 180 degrees (do not turn it over).
It just never occurred to me to do exactly what the article said NOT to do, "turn it over". After thinking it through I couldn't believe it was so obvious, so I went up and cut a couple strips. After each cut I simple "turned it over" end to end and the pieces came out just like they should. I definitely agree with the main point of the article that strip planking is so much easier than sheeting in many cases, it actually makes it enjoyable.
