I was watching your one-off fiberglass tutorial, and I'm trying to make my own fairing... I have a problem though, in making the mold, how do you ensure it is symmetrical? What measuring tools do you use?
There are a few tools or methods to get symmetrical parts such a center line to edge measurements, using a contour gauge, cutting thin plywood ribs building a frame within your part similar to a skeleton. This is just to name a few it all really depends on part
