![]() 2927 forum posts 2424 photos | I drew the original plan by hand. The rib templates were generated by Profili software, and then printed to thin card. The cut-out card templates were used to draw the profiles on the plan, and also to draw onto the balsa itself. I'd also like to hear if anybody else had problems. I've had correspondence from a couple of happy builders - neither of whom reported any issues. tim |

![]() 2 forum posts | Thanks Tim. Wasn't sure if there may have been corrections published as we don't get the magazine for several months after it's published here in London,Canada. I suspect it has to do with the translation from paper to digital to paper and then me converting to digital again. Any small differences can get magnified. So I will chalk it up to my local print shop who did the scanning. I have stretched the ribs slightly and recut and they fit nicely now. Same as the other parts that were slightly off So hopefully no offense taken Tim. Love the magazine and Love your plans. This is the first of yours for me but I know I will be building more. Thanks for the great designs. Andy |

Only on a small scale. Andy, I'm glad you've got things sorted out anyway! tim |

12 forum posts | I transferred direct from the magazine plan to the balsa/ply sheet. No problems, everything went together well and the finished article flies well. See 'Pilot's Pictorial' in the May issue. |
