Hello Jean,

If I understand your question correctly, I've found that as long as you're
drilling #40, using a lexan template (I use 0.040 lexan) the holes come out
fine. If I have to go to #30 (due to the underlying structure already being
at #30 for instance) I think using a hole finder creates a more accurate
finished product.

Subject: [rebel-builders] inner floor

Hello

When I made the fuselage inner floor, I used the "lexan technic" instead of
put the
inner floor on the outer skin for holes matching. For the cabin floor, the
sheet
are different (3 pieces vs 1 piece), the inner floor is longer at the cabin
front, and there is a angle (inner always shorter than outer), could I use
the "hole matching technic" or it is better to use the "lexan one"?

p.s.: french to english translation have been difficult

Hi Jean: I would be surprised if a "matching" technique worked for either
floor area due to the fact of the varying angles of the various channels.
The lexan sounds like a pretty accurate method. My own method was simply to
start with 4 corner holes with floor in place - remove the floor panel -
connect the holes, measure and transfer centerlines. I have done this method
3 times now with great success. Bob J Rebel 652,725,192/731

That is how I do it as well Jean! Pick a starting point and measure for
channel locations. Mark them out and start drilling.
