Something I always struggle with when making a part (mostly in fiberglass) is getting the part symmetrical. I've made a half-dozen or so parts (tails, fender eliminator, chin spoiler, fly-screen) that all required them to be symmetrical and I've achieved it somewhat. To the naked eye they don't look to bad, but I know they are not perfect. Just wondering if there are any techniques I'm not aware of for helping with symmetry? For smaller parts I've used a contour gauge a bit and find it pretty good, but I now want to make some much larger parts that have to be pretty much spot on, would be nice if there was something that could make this easier.
