Due to a stroke of incredibly good luck and the kindness of a fellow club member, I was gifted a still-sealed-in-its-bag Edmonds Ecee Thunder kit. This is one that's been on my bucket list for a long long time and I've always wanted to build/fly one of these impressive gliders that sadly went OOP long before I became a BAR. Unfortunately these kits are pure Unobtainium and I've never been able to find templates anywhere.
Well, now that I'm building the original kit I thought I'd pass along some of that good fortune by making templates available. The templates are in a vector pdf file format. Note: either the Illustrator files I did the tracing in or the pdf file can be used to laser cut the pieces. (PM me if you want the Illustrator files). If you want to go old school and print the templates out to hand-cut the pieces with a hobby knife, you'll have to tile your printing because of their size, and tape the sheets together. Or take it to someplace like Kinkos to output it on their large format printers.
Oh, and btw, if you need the build instructions, PM me with your email addy. For some reason it's too large to upload here so I'll have to send them via an ftp service.
