I finished the sheet layouts last night. Right now we're at five 36x84 <br>

the tiny lettering just takes too long.<br>

<br>
maybe use an identifier for each hole size you use instead of printing the whole dimension at the hole.<br>

Yes. The process will be long and *drawn out*....ahem. :)<br>

I finished the sheet layouts last night. Right now we're at five 36x84 <br>
sheets. I scrubbed all but a few of the hole dimensions from the plots - <br>
the tiny lettering just takes too long.<br>
<br>
I've got the next two weeks off, so we'll see if I can make my <br>
self-imposed deadline of the Dec 31 to get this all wrapped up.<br>
<br>
I've dropped the "jet" option for now - I don't have time to build a <br>
prototype of it to check the fit & finish of the wider components.<br>
<br>
There are a total of 30 different part shapes on the plans, some of which <br>
are for the optional windscreen/canopy version.<br>
<br>
I may make a couple of tiny design changes on the windscreen and canopy <br>
design, but the cockpit is "feature complete" as of this moment. Neat, <br>
eh? :)<br>
