From: Craig Burton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The curvature of the first 5 inches of the nose required a substantial number of pins in both the fuselage sides and the triangle stock. How could this be accomplished with weights and/or clamps? Tape. Or just move the glass so it sticks an inch or so off

I like the theory behind a glass work surface: flat, smooth, etc. But I'm having a hard time imagining how I would attempt assembly of, say, a fuselage with triangle stock from nose to tail. Two planes that I've built come to mind: the Sagitta and the Silhouette. The curvature of the first 5 inch

Hi As an interested bystander, it seems to me that to allow "updates" to RES and NOS ruins the reason for the class. If you want an updated class, start a new one. We have too many classes now I hear you say? Too bad, don't mess with RES and NOS, they are fine as they are! Just my 2 cents worth.
