I am planning to add a checkerboard pattern to a P47 type cowl. I have looked at
photos and studied the tapering rows as you wrap around the inlet compound curves.
Can anyone give me some tips to avoid "rookie" problems?

Hi Walt ,

Do a search for "Checkerboard" on this site , as I posted this same question earlier this season (2008) and received some helpful info .

You live near Sparky. He's really good at it. I'd see what goods and services it would take to borrow his eye.
