To be quite honest, it is easier to work in metrics than standard anyway. Get yourself a metric straight edge and go to it.

Home Depot, where I live, didn't have them

I found the metric system to be much easier too.

I just made my measurements with the metric side of my tape measure, and made the lines with a regular straight edge.

I know it's an extra step, but you have to remember who your talking to here.

Do any of you guys remember G-LOC? and if you do, do you remember the special G-LOC R-360 cabinet?, the one where you could go upside down and loop and had to be strapped in.

Well if you could find one and adapt it for AH now that would be the daddy of setups

only prob would be electricity bill and the space for it

Rip, I meant a bigger picture of the plans...not a bigger cockpit.

Well, what the heck, if I screw up, I just have more kindling wood!

LePaul-

There isn't a single compound curve in the whole thing. If you have any modeling experience at all, this is a piece of cake. All you really need to draw it out is patience and a ruler. A square will help, but isn't necessary. I got everything on 2 4x8's with no trouble at all.
