It was just the learning process and realizing I needed to create a custom print page and make a viewport that was the same size or larger than my plans. At first I was having it convert and when I would print...

    Yeah it took me a long time to figure out the pdf thing. Well let me correct myself. I figured it out in about five minutes how to convert it but getting it to convert and still be scaled properly was a chore. Now that I know how to do it it’s no problem. What version AutoCAD are you using.

    @Snoopy1 when I’m ready to print stuff from cad I just convert it to a pdf so it’s easier on the print guy.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I use bob smith stuff for thin ca but for medium I use either the gorilla glue or titebond brand. When it comes to wood glue I like the gorilla stuff but I as well have found it sets up a little quicker so I normally just stick to titebond II

    Not sure if he ever did or not. Haven’t seen anything out of him in quite a while now. It was a shame but you can’t bite the hand that feeds you.

    Ain't that the truth. Citabrias are beautiful birds. I really like the look of the 35cc great planes one. Well I like them all but that one seems right for me.

    Ok I still haven’t made it to my shop to get measurements yet but to be honest when we designed the 55cc edge and even the smaller versions and my Giles it was all just going off of what looked appealing to me and my buddy as we did things. As for the tail surfaces it’s all 1/2” thick. Fuse...
