Thanks Ross,

I will go home and check out what you mean... yes, if that point is left out of the curve, it is fair. Is there anyplace in the book which I do not remember which points out how these numbers are to be used? I remember the need for the knock out (which was not necessary for the Great Auk.) This is so the cockpit surround can be glued in. I don't remember where it says how high the knockout should be.

Oh, it may be obvious that I have started in earnest on a Guillemot. I got sick of how ugly the folder was getting, and have lost interest in it for now. Instead I am wanting to see something beautiful rising from the shop floor. I may use the folder's cloth for a Tulik and a sea sock and use the pipes as antenna masts...
