You can adjust the width of the piece you take out back to the 3/16" width of the foam board you're using. To keep the same outside dimensions keep the outside line of the B fold removed foam section and adjust the inside line. For an A fold keep the inside line and adjust the outside one.

Thank you Mr NCT,

I'm guessing that I'll need to adjust the former slots as well

And I can't thank you enough for your help.

The gentleman at my club who has been kindly selling me some of his wonderful collection of planes. Happens to have a beautiful electric powered, balsa model of a DR3.
When I was last at his workshop, I was admiring it and to my amazement he said its for sale if your interested.
Sadly its one of those models you would be scared to fly just incase you crashed it and I refuses to own a plane these day's that I can't or wont fly. I wouldn't be content having it just hung there on display so I won't be buying it.
On the other hand I did sit drooling over his scratch built version of the Polaris, that's also for sale so may buy that just after Christmas.

Mr.Nct,

Just one more question the slots for formers and such .
Would you center the 3/16 board on slot or does it depend on what it's for ?
