There isn't any reason to be making templates out of anything better then bond paper unless you plan on making several of one plane. I made a total of 8 Up-Roars when I was into fun fly events so I had them made out of chip board {card Board}. I made a couple of smaller Fokker D-VIIs and did the same thing. Using bond paper like I showed in the photo is a good way to go. If I need to rebuild anything I have them, if someone needs a set I can take them over to Kinko's and have a copy made and fold them up and send them in an envelope. If a kit is no longer made I can go to Kinko's and have the plans, templates and instructions made and share or trade with friends. I make a template with every part in the kit and lable the wood type and size so it's easy to cut your own kit. See the thinking behind templates on bond paper/ butcher paper.
Don, I was cleaning my glasses twice a day to no effect!! All I did was scratched them to the point they were throw aways. I went to the Race Sunday and had to drive after dark, that was a cheap thrill!!!!!![X(] For someone that hates to drive getting out of the parking lot at the track was total HEEEEEELL!! Took 3.5 hours for the drivers to run the 400 miles, took us 3.5 hours to get out of the track!! No BS, long story, longer day!!
