I've read everything possible about making the oblique paper comes that I will need for my SA-5 Gammon build, and then I even fidgeted about with some paper and made something that would work with a little extra help from finishing methods.
However, does anyone simply have a template or pattern to share with me.
I read the Apogee Newsletter Article by TVM about making them, and it gave me a headache, which is what happens when I think about math.
In the article, all sorts of math gets talked about, then finally, on page five, there is a pic of the cone, but you can't "Save Image As" on those articles.
I gues I could take a picture of the screen, then mess with that image.
This is kind of a yes or no question, but if you have a really simple method that does not require me to get a math headache, I'd welcome any suggestions.
I'm also ordering 3" BT-55 nose blocks from BMS, so if I have to i'll just shape them by hand from the Balsa stock.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice, but what I'd love the most would just be a scan of something like what comes with the Fliskits Thunderbird, then I can just resize it and mess with it til I get some nice ones.
