    Just had a moment to check. They are still off but not as bad.

    Hopefully you got my email with the plans. I reprinted them this morning but don't have a tape measure to check them with near me. Will check them when I go on lunch break.

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Weighs 17.4oz and running a hacker A2020 on a 10" prop. Hard to beat that setup on a lightweight plane other than my crap esc. Felt like an on off switch right where I wanted to hold my throttle in a harrier.

    What version of autocad are you using??? I'm gonna send you the file to look over. Currently all my stuff is saved a a 2013 file so don't know if I need to re save and an older version for you or not.

    It's short coupled so it should be plenty affective.

    Flew in the field at the local community college I'm attending. First flights of this little profile. What a blast.

    Thought about doing different viewports but for me right now it was easier to do just one. When I send out plans it will prolly be 3 PDF files. One that is the wing, one the fuse and stab, and third would be just cut parts. I will take a pic once I get home of how I have it setup.

    Not sure I follow the question. Airfoil is either a naca 0015 or 0018 can't remember which I settled on when this project started almost a year ago. What do you meen by the second half of your question.

    I'm using autocad 2017 so while on layout 1 all I had to do was select 1:1 then go to paper space and it locked it there.

    I think I got it. Will try again in the morning. Created a viewport that is 34 x 185, brought the drawing up to 1:1 in the viewport and will print it again from there. I'm willing to expect 1/4-1/2" off but 3" is too much.

    Well I added a 6" scale to the plans and will be re printing them in the morning. For those of you who understand CAD this will make sense. We printed them scaled 1:1 but printed them from model space instead of paper space. Apparently in model space 1:1 doesn't equal a true 1:1 as my wing that...

    Yeah I see it now Mike. For some reason it wouldn't show before.

    Yeah that's what he exported them too but when I opened those in autocad it would not let me ungroup parts so it was a pain to lay parts where I wanted. I got it figured out now.

    I appreciate it bud. Been struggling trying to properly convert it to a PDF for when it's time so I may hit you up when I get closer. Some of the double lines I'm seeing are where the wing portion was generated by the devwing software and then converted to a PDF. I used the import PDF feature...

    Plans printed. 34' wide paper 185" long. they look nice. I see a few things I need to address with double lines that I couldn't see in the program but on paper they show up really well. I will build from this set though and once its flown make any changes that need to be made then it will be...
