Mark the paper to reference the structure under it (verticals, stringers,etc) , and label the pieces and pu t direction arrows if necessary. When the fabric is on, overlay the paper guides over the fabric referencing the structure marks and you will have the precise location of the holes.

No, no. Not me. Kevin knows what 28+hrs in the saddle feels like. He didn't look too hobbled over when I saw him at Brodhead. Of course, he was leaning on Shelley most of the time... ;-) I was lucky and had N8031 hand delivered to me by the previous owner, a kid outta college with a much younger butt than mine. I've done 4.5hrs at a stretch, but that's it. There are older gents who have done longer hauls in a Hatz. The story starts out like this: "Remember back when you were a little kid. When you were riding your bike, you werent really on a bicycle, you were flying in your biplane. The parked cars, trash cans, the neighbors dog, any obstacles were the clouds you were flying around. Remember the playing card in the spokes? I was one of those kids..." Read the rest at http://www.aerocraftsman.com/blakesburg-or-bust/. Hope to see you at Brodhead, Oscar!

Time to get back to work! This is what $1000 will buy you! Doesn't look like much, but there is really more there than it seems. I took my time and ordered the sizes as close as I could leaving some fudge factor. Quality of the spruce looks good. Only one or two pieces I would question and that is me just being picky. I used marine ply and some local doug fir on the wings. Looking forward to working with spruce again. ACS did a good job. That is a lot of cuts. There is a 4x8 sheet of 1/16 ply under there they cut for me for the leading edge that I can install with very little work. Packing and shipping was less than $100. Should keep me busy for awhile!
