Default sweeping

Hmmm. The Hoyle Accu Arc is only good for a 144" radius. Not so good for long body lines. A number 2 sweep has a 1800" radius. If you get a sweep over 150 the radius change is way too small to be useful for manual panel building. I made mine by plotting them from a CAD file and cutting them out of 1/4" baltic birch plywood. They are fine for an old hack like me.
