Just had a moment to check. They are still off but not as bad.

What dimension are you measuring?

What dimension are you measuring?

this last set i havent meassured everything just hte 6" scale that is coming up at 5-1/4" long and the cut sheets as I drew them out as 4" tall 36" wide and they are showing more at 34-1/2' on paper.

I have to give a big shout out and thank you to @Alky6 He looked over my CAD drawing today and found the problem I was having with my file. Didn't have access to the plotter to try again this afternoon but I'm pretty sure tomorrow they should print up correctly. But first I will be trying to knock an interview out of the park. Wish me luck.

It was my pleasure. Thanks. Hope it's a grand slam! Good luck!!

Guys good new, plans have been re printed and we are in business. 6" scale reads right on the money but my wings are still showing about a 1/4" shy of the full span I was shooting for. I think this may have to do with all the rain though as I know plans will shrink and grow with varying amounts of moisture in the air. None the less I am happy and now ready to start this project. Probably will start cutting templates over the weekend and hopefully some actual parts next week.

Hey BalsaDust,

That's a little too small for my selection of motors....how about enlarging it to the 50-60cc range!

We're going to have an impromptu cookout at the CVRC field late Sunday afternoon. Come up to fly and eat with us. Bring a drink...we have the food covered.

If it works out well a bigger version will happen. I have a 55cc edge profile I built that flys amazing. Would love to come out but have a family function on Sunday.

Please do not take this the wrong way Just trying to learn and improve my 3D flying, trying to teach a old bog new tricks. What I have found that straight trailing edges to trailing edges that are at right angle to the fuse seem to have more of a tendency to wing rock. Or am I incorrect if I am let me know why. What I do know for sure it works on pattern planes.

It may or may not work out that way. Not really sure. Though I will be doing some low and slow stuff with this I have tried to design it more towards high energy stuff.
