Title: Tips on layout and masking a checkerboard pattern on cowling
Post by: walterbro on October 29, 2008, 09:16:43 AM

  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?

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