There you go, exactly what I was suggesting. Once the foam is covered you
could not tell the difference. And it sounds like it won't take much time.

Javis,
 
If you already have the foam parts cut....why not modify the plans slightly
to use the new parts.
Paper plans can expand and contract. Especially as they go through that big
Kinkos copy machine. It gets the paper really hot. 3/16" sounds like a bunch
but you never know. I would just scale the plans back a little bit so that
your already build parts will work.

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???
