CalQRP Paddle by JohnSutter

This paddle was done as a CalQRP club project. I have printed and built a number
of paddles, but found different aspects frustrating. I was lent a Whiterook MK-44 and
liked it quite a bit so I used it as a base for my design. I used it to help get me through
CW Academy Level 1 this past spring.
The main features of my design are:
Integrated arm support
Self aligning paddle arm channels
Can be screwed together (not needed though..)
This project has 3 parts to print: the top, bottom, and a cut/drill template for the arms.
I printed up 14 copies for the club build. We'll see how that goes....
For the post we are using 3/16" hex standoffs. I found some 0.165" self-clinching standoffs at a local surplus shop that I prefer. I'm not 100% certain, but I think they're from Captive Fastener and probably part number CFS0440-18.
See the PDF file for assembly instructions.
