style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR><BR>Steve,<BR><BR>There should
be a way to use simple geometric principles to cut a very sort span, highly
tapered wing such as a fin. Have you tried anchoring one end of the bow down,
and only moving the other in a circular fashion. The anchored end will
basically serve as the center of the circle. Depending on where you place the
foam blank within the circle, you should be able to cut a very high taper and
short span wih extreme accuracy.<BR><BR>BTW, this is true for all tapered
wings, except it becomes somewhat impractical for wide chord wing tips,
because the circle center is sometimes 10 feet away from where the cut is
made.<BR><BR>Just an idea for you to mull over<BR><BR>Matt
