The start. |

| Don't know what TLAR means, but all freehand. |

| TLAR...that looks about right? :) |

| Do you use the aid of a straight edge and draftsman curves to maintain the part shapes during the transfers from plan to tracing paper and then to balsa? Or do you use freehand and TLAR? Looks a trifle tedious, but as you say it saves a cutting step, also it preserves the plan from which you are working. I think I will give it a try. Thanks,

| Tracing paper over plans to draw outline, then transfer from tracing paper to balsa using a sharp tip #2 pencil. Outlines made by pencil tip in balsa outlined with a ballpoint pen. Easier for me than cutting out each from plan and gluing to balsa, then cutting. |

| How did you 'draw' the parts to the balsa sheet, Poppy? Nice work.

| Better drawn then crunched! :-) |

All cut, need to sand edges and notch for stringers. |
| poppy, Image # 32008 | 19 Jul 14 13:03 |
All parts drawn. |

The plans. 29 3/4" w/s, 29 3/4 " length, approx. 1/15 scale. |

| Notice the fuselage yellow stripe is about 1/4" too wide. This plastic model sat on my shelf with fuselage and stripes painted about 10 years. I just did not want to repaint. |

| this is going to look nice! |

| I hope to enlarge the plans by 125% which will give me a 30" span model scaled at approx. 1/15. |
