my site has lots of turtleneck pics. The way I did mine was I made thefront former and the most aft former and glued them onto the fuse. I thenmarked 7 ticks equally spaced around the formers. Then I used a stringpulled tight over the marks from front to rear. At that point I plottedthe dimensions for the other 2 formers in between.The result produced a turtleneck that has perfectly straight stringers thatfollow the contour exactly.some pics herehttp://www.imagedv.com/aircamper/log/image-pages/10-27-02.htmI also chose to have a storage area in the turtleneck. It's just big enoughto stash my headset, goggles, and handheld GPS.... maybe some charts too.DJ VeghN74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper----- Original Message -----
