Hi,

While I'm waiting for my updated drawings from AcroSport, Inc. I thought I'd practice using some tools. I'm getting good at cutting curves in wood with my scroll saw, just not the curve I want to cut.

I have tried several times to duplicate the camber of the wing so I can bend some capstrips. All of my cuts end up wavy. Any suggestions on how to cut a nice smooth arc?
