Ron:
This is interesting and worrying.
Buying plans that someone has drawn up is supposed to mean saving you work. :(
If the plans have to be 'adjusted' it makes you wonder if you couldn't have drawn the lot from scratch. :?

I have had this problem in the past (so who hasn't), and had naively thought that with modern 3D cad systems it would be a thing of the past.

On the aerofoil.... what software do you use? If any   :wink:
I've seen Compufoil talked about a lot.

Hi Ron. Nice to see you back on the Forum again.
 I am very certain the plan I have was not designed using 3D Cad software. If it was I would say it would be much more accurate. It looks like it's a hand drawn plan (when I mean hand drawn I mean with rulers etc. not free hand).
The software I'm using for the wing is called Profili Pro 2. Its quite a good software. You can get it here http://www.profili2.com/eng/default.htm

Ron:
Thanks Alan,
Had a few health problems in the family, but getting sorted now.

I didn't think there were any old school, pencil and ruler draughtsmen about still.
Maybe it's an old plan?
Hope the one I've ordered (Skylark 1) is a bit better.

That Profili 2 looks interesting.
I'll give that a try.

Ron

Fred:
Hi Ron,

You also have Tracfoil (that's what I use), but I usually use those software to export the dat in the CAD program.

Alan_Perse:
It might be an old plan. But it does say copyright 2007. But looking at it you can defiantly see it its not a Cad plan. There are lots of small errors here an there.
