XL builders, I have a tip that might prove useful for making temporary templates, most specifically for the canopy.  The ZAC pictoral guides show a complex proceedure using plywood, cut with a saber saw, for templates.  I decided to try to use the large corrugated cardboard sheets that were in kit packing crates. They are large enough, sufficiently stiff, and easily cut ( and adjusted) with a box cutter.  They are lighter; and less likely to scratch the canopy, too.  Multiple templates (as shown by ZAC) are not necessary.  One can easily see where trimming is needed. The areas needing trimming can be marked with a Sharpie and trimmed with the box cutter.  I went through about four trimmings and didn't need to make new templates.  Hope this helps.
