Re: [RCSE] Re: template material choices?
I just take the .pdf on a CD to FedEx Kinko's and have it printed full size on their paper. Lay it out on the foam, follow the edges carefully while cutting the first time and it can't get much cheaper than that. Store the cut plans carefully and just lay them on the foam again when it's time to cut another one. It sounds like I may have a few more friends than you and I have cut lots of Edges, Sukhois, Ultimates, Pitts' and Extras for them, plus a bunch of each for me.
