Include the instructions on how to do it with alum or<br>
steam bending for those inclined to put in the<br>
effort/money for the very best, but give us lazy<br>
cheap bastards something to work with, too...<br>
Sometimes good enough is just that, good enough. :D<br>

<br>
The aft section of the cockpit has this nice 1"<br>
radius on the corner of a <br>
114 degree angle.<br>
<br>
This works great if you're going to sheet your<br>
virtual bird in some shiny <br>
.040 aluminum, but it sucks ass if you're trying to<br>
bend 1/8" tempered <br>
hardboard on that radius.<br>
<br>
As my potential customer base (there has to be at<br>
least ONE of you out <br>
there. :D ) I ask - should I:<br>
<br>
1. Tell you to suck it up and learn how to steam<br>
bend wood.<br>
<br>
2. Tell you to suck it up and sheet your bird with<br>
.040 6061.<br>
<br>
3. See if you'll pass out when trying to bend the<br>
wood with Anhydrous <br>
Ammonia<br>
<br>
4. Include an alternate frame design that's got a<br>
sharp angle instead of <br>
the radiused angle for those that are smart enough to<br>
avoid the ammonia <br>
and don't have the desire to learn how to steam bend<br>
wood.<br>
<br>
thanks all.<br>
