Joey, I did not use a copier, made a template directly from the plan. The odd thing is that all other full size dimensions on the drawing are correct, ie, the spar widths and heights, which complettely baffles me. At first I thought Mr. Bowers had made a copier mistake when copying the drawing but the latter would disprove that. The only thing I know to do is to write Mr. Bowers and ask for another drawing or if someone here in the group would be kind enough to make a copy of one that they have, I would certainly pay all expenses and greatly appreciate it. I checked and double checked to make sure that I had the two drawings taped together correctly, it seems hard not to get that right. I feel a bit stupid that I didn't check this dimension before making the majority of the rib webs but I guess I took it for granted that a full-size drawing was just that. A minor setback, but one that I will overcome.
