Have you seen those multi pronged tools that they sell for determining shapes in awkward corners etc in DIY ? well next time you see one snap it up,they make ideal template checking tools when carving solid balsa,whether you are making a nose cowl or a complete fuselage to be hollowed out (like many of the older plans show).
The tool resembles lots of piano wire lengths placed into an holder,all you do is simply push it into/onto the wood and this gives you a simple template from which to work,I have found the tool most useful at times,no doubt you will find other uses.
