Scribe a line, cut and plane. Joint remaining surface, lather rinse repeat. I freehand accurately to a line, no jigs and such, not necessary.

Many champs, and Chiefs, suffer from collapsed springs and the belief that the oil in them isn't important. These are difficult machines to manage in decent winds on concrete. The tandam thing is miserable if you don't have a decent intercom. Not that difficult in a enclosed cockpit. It's a miserable adverse yaw machine, which DOES force you to learn to fly coordinated and keep the ailerons in the correct spot if the plane is MOVING, at all! If a 65hp machine, you'll never be able to teach someone to fly at pattern altitude... Some students just won't be feasible. 85 much better, beefed up 85 probably the way to go. Considering the other two machines, I'd prefer the champ by a long shot. If you want regular work, the other two. While you will be a rare bird, there aren't many folks really wanting to take on a taildragger. I LOVE instructing in my 120. Don't even flinch at a direct 15 to 18 kt direct crosswind.
