Try a larger harder wheel.&nbsp; I'm trying to learn, too.&nbsp; Wings are not
too<br>
bad.&nbsp; Stabs ok, too.&nbsp; I tried cutting a vertical fin.&nbsp; That
didn't go<br>
very well.&nbsp; The big difference between root and tip along with the very<br>
short span make it very challenging.<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 Kebabjian</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
