I am not a pro so a full size set take i could trace out on the wood would make it a lot easer on me once i get that far i can do the rest. someesle told me of another link that had the carene 50 and i downloaded it to play with but it we not let me do a 12 pannel for the s&g hull maybe your link has a different versen To be truthful this is not my best area i know what i what and can put it in a simple design but have trouble with the tec. design (I'll figrue it out sooner or later help for poeple like your self really let me look at different way and that is very helpful Thanks)
