RCM'S L'ESSENCE 2 PLANS, PARTS FITTING WARNING

[Jarvis Johnson]

Who's at fault
 
Hello all, it building season again.About a year ago I purchased 2 sets, of RCM L'ESSENCE 2
gas pattern plane plan#1323. Designed by Gerry Dale,check out RCM's May 2003 issue for
construction article.The basic construction materials, is balsa,hardwood,ply and white foam.
After paying well over a $160.00 dollar for 2 sets of ,wing,stab and turtle deck parts.The
construction began, after sheeting all the foam parts with 1/16 balsa sheeting.The front turtle
deck, was then placed over the plans, for the canopy hatch mounting framing.To only find out
that the turtle deck was to small, by about 3/16". So at this point, I placed the rear turtle deck
over the plans, an once again to small. So I contacted, the company that cut the foam parts.
To express my dislike,on the work that was done.I was told, that the parts were cut from the provided templates, that were on to the plans. After some measurements were taking,the four
templates for cutting the foam turtle deck, front and rear,are to small. To verify this, I contacted
a few pattern flyers, from the Kansas area, that are flying the L'ESSENCE 2. And they had the
same problems. That I'm have with the turtle decks. They had to cut,the turtle decks a few times by enlarging the templates to fix the problem.
SO WHO'S AT FAULT, RCM or THE DESINGER???
