Re: LB26
I am lucky, I have a furniture warehouse nearby that I get tons of FREE scrap plywood for making templates. When I am done with the templates, I just have to leave them in the weather a few days and the Plys come apart making it easy to put in the dumpster.

Re: LB26
Thank you for the pictures Fallguy. That is the kind of template I have in mind.
Very often, as the building progress, small differences creep in. A few millimeters here and there quickly add up and while you should use the plans dimensions, you must compensate for those differences and adjust some other dimensions.
I will upload a different drawing tomorrow and you will be able to use it to build a windshield template from cardboard or cheap plywood.

Re: LB26
As always thanks guys.
I am starting to learn Dan that as you say along with Jacques it now breaks into self measure and design which I am looking forward to. So far Jacques your drawings work like magic, the wings on the drawing look crazy but when fitted the forward section bends and fits the front of the cabin perfect.
The Greeks are back to work this week so hopefully get some materials early next week.
Will post some wing photos next soon.
Cheers

Re: LB26
OK. Dors that mean that you don't need more dimensions? I was just going to draw the dimensions in a different way but if it works, let's not complicate.

You should see the roads I was driving on yesterday, there was a real risk of that.

Re: LB26
Afternoon Guys
Just a few photos of progress, it's been a hard few weeks trying to get the engine in and finish the big glassing jobs.
Scary few hours getting the engine in a praying it all lined up, looks like it's all ok though....
Next job finish shaping the cabin roof and front windscreens.
Cheers

Nice looking motor! Looks like that opening was made for it.
