[simpits-tech] The plot thickens...

[cyplesma at aol.com]

I finished the sheet layouts last night.  Right now we're at five 36x84 
sheets.  I scrubbed all but a few of the hole dimensions from the plots - 
the tiny lettering just takes too long.




 

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

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

I finished the sheet layouts last night.  Right now we're at five 36x84 
sheets.  I scrubbed all but a few of the hole dimensions from the plots - 
the tiny lettering just takes too long.

I've got the next two weeks off, so we'll see if I can make my 
self-imposed deadline of the Dec 31 to get this all wrapped up.

I've dropped the "jet" option for now - I don't have time to build a 
prototype of it to check the fit & finish of the wider components.

There are a total of 30 different part shapes on the plans, some of which 
are for the optional windscreen/canopy version.

I may make a couple of tiny design changes on the windscreen and canopy 
design, but the cockpit is "feature complete" as of this moment.  Neat, 
eh? :)
