how perfect a curve?

[Bigblock352]

This might be a dumb question but...
I'm building a rimple. All wood. No aluminum skin. How perfect does the curve have to be for the walls where the roof mounts? I'm not talking way off but maybe a 1/16 dips.

1/16th is not much. Maybe a little sanding to smooth them out?

I've been sanding to get it down to a 16th. Just didn't know if I needed to keep going. To make it perfect or was that in "tolerance"
How does everyone else make these curves? Better jigsaw skills than me I bet lol

Use a belt sander and place it on its side. Clamp it to the table and put a spacer block in front of it for the offset in sand paper height. Now you can sand up the the line in a flash.

Bend a piece of thin cardboard around the radius, you will know right away if you need to do more sanding.

Great advice. Thanks!
My idea is to get this perfect once then use that as a template for a router to make 4 exactly the same curves.

Clamp the two sides together when sanding, that way they are exactly the same.
