Is it just me or do the elevator core template and the contouring template not match too well. It appears that the core template is a little larger than the contouring template and I see no way of ever getting the contouring template to touch as the plans suggest should happen! Any input would help.

I am far from home on this one, as I haven't participated in the hot wire part yet, but from what I understand it is desirable to cut your cores a bit larger than what you need. The foam sands easily and can be brought into the proper shape if you start just a bit larger. Even if they appeared to mate perfectly, you still might want to cut the cores a touch larger so you can sand away the wire ridges AND keep the proper shape.

 

cncdoc raises a good issue as well.

hi guys,

 

I found that the upper contouring template match well with the lower contouring template at the L.E. but they don't at the T.E.(they don't touch and a bit of space remain between them).

I suppose the error is in the lower part, but I'm not sure: anybody has a solution or a suggest??
