Title: can't upload pattern request?
Post by: gilljc on February 27, 2014, 09:50:22 am: don't know what I am doing wrong? keep trying to make pattern request with photo attached, but each time, it tells me I am timed out and that there is no subject message or content - am confused! now you know why I can't make my own patterns............
the subject is a photo of a glider about to take off and I would dearly like to cut it as it is my glider that I bought as an insurance write off and spent a year rebuilding. it may be too comples as it includes some hills with trees and snow and two aircraft

hope someone can tell what I might be doing wrong

thanks

Gill

I was going To try to make a pattern for you but beofre I do I was wondering what you were looking for in the pattern. Did you want Just your glider, with a little bit of background or did you want the full pic. with the other plane in it?

the back ground and if possible the runway would be nice

had a go at your pattern, just did it on hardboard cos it is my first try with spiral blades, but think you will agree your pattern looks good, going to practice a bit more with spiral blades before I try again :)
