CH650B Fuselage Plywood Templates
Made my plywood templates today. I had to smile when I looked at the table of template dimensions shown on drawing 6B14 as I'm challenged to cut to 1 millimeter precision let alone 0.2 mm. Maybe everyone else has a table saw that can cut to the precision of a tenth of a millimeter, but I don't. I wanted to let everyone know that you can make these templates any size as long as the ratio of the Horizontal Top minus the Horizontal Bottom to the Vertical distance, (HTop - HBottom)/Vertical, remains the same.
Here are the dimensions I cut my templates to (to the nearest mm). Hope this helps.
