Aircraft Modeling

I need a little help with this model. This is the stab from a Piper Pacer PA-20. I am working from factory drawings to make this. My model is scaled down 35% for the R/C model that I am working on.
The curved leading edge was made with a bezier curve and pulled up to 3/8". I need to round off the outside edges with a 3/16" radius and notch the back of the curve 1/8" to receive the ribs like on the trailing edge.
If anyone could show me how to do this on the attached file I would be grateful.Thanks,

I'll take a look at it but I would suggest that you build the model at full size and scale it down afterward. working at the larger size will help you avoid some issues with small faces and you won't have to scale any of the dimensions off the drawings.

Dave,
I thought about that but I am laying this out for the laser cutter and I am using standard wood sizes for a lot of the parts. If I did it at full scale and then reduced it down to 35% the wood sizes will also change and I would not be using 1/4" and 1/8" wood for the parts.
Thanks,
Larry
