From: "Billy McCaskill" 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. -------- Billy McCaskill Baker, LA tail section almost done, starting on ribs soon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=440709#440709 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:06:50 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Hangar Moving From: Jack Gary what is the stuff in your jury struts?

We will miss Mr. Potts. It should serve as a reminder though that even CAA Regional Inspectors will meet their day of judgment.
