Hi British Jim,
>From your post, it sounds like your greatest concern is how to read and make sense
of the plans themselves, and how to translate them imto full sized patterns
or templates to work from. Jack Phillips and Glen Schweitzer have given very
good advice, and Paul Donahue's pictures are quite good at showing the general
principle of laying out the full size part directly onto the building table.
If reading the plans is what is confusing to you, I would suggest talking with
someone who is skilled in the art of drafting, to get the basics of how to read/interpret
how the dimensions are laid out, and other various ideas such as
how dotted lines on the plan represent actual parts that are hidden from view
by other structural components. As far as transferring angles, simply measure
straight from the plans with a protractor and draw your full sized diagram with
the same angle. Enlarge circular items with a ruler and a compass. Most of
enlarging a plan to a full sized building template is remembering grade school
geometry. Start with the wing ribs, or perhaps with the tail section components.
Draw them up at full size, then step back a few feet and examine your drawing
to see if it looks correct. It's all a lot easier than it sounds.

Hi Jim,
I second all that has been said.
Personally, the bingelis books and the EAA book on wood construction helped
the most.
Good luck!

We will miss Mr. Potts.
It should serve as a reminder though that even CAA Regional Inspectors will
meet their day of judgment.
They need to bear this in mind when they ramp check us, or refuse to allow
us to use "NX" on our airplanes!
