John,

I understand how to cut the first taper with the Harlan style stripper. How do you cut the second taper for, let's say, a double tapered prop spar? Or, are you using a tapered sheet to get your double tapered spars?

BTW Kang cuts double tapers from tapered sheet stock using a tapered insert and a Jones style stripper. He got the idea from reading some older article (in INAV, if I recall correctly).

Thanks,

Leo
