Hercpilot Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 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. Quote Justin http://web.me.com/hercpilot/Justins_Website/Welcome.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cncdoc Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Just a thought, You didn't copy the template drawings at Kinko's did you? I did and they were off....

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. My $0.02 -- perhaps with a penny.

Hercpilot Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks for the input guys. And doc, by the way, I did scan the orginals and printed them on my laser printer. I made sure and compared them to the originals. They seem to check out okay. Maybe I am just being to picky about this matter.

airnico Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 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?? nico Quote Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.
