Ok the engine has been cleaned out checked and rebuilt and run on the test stand. Running as good as always. Put all the servos on the test rig and everything checked out no gears stripped and no wires damaged so that is also good and read to go again. Now all that needs to be checked out is the receiver.
Also put the battery on a computer cycle and it is still good and has 5 % more capacity than stated on the pack voltage good and IR still the same.
Ok @BalsaDust ready for the 20cc special designed 3D profile. ( just kidding I know you are busy.)

I just enjoy drawing things and I thought you had said you wanted something along the lines of an Extra. MAybe I'm thinking of someone else. LOL I will send them over in a bit. It's based around the other edge profiles I have done so it should fly very similar.
What are you using for CAD Chris? I've got Autocad R14 on a disc but it isn't compatible with Windows 10 so I'm SOL.
What format does it need to be in? I've dabbled in free software for a while trying to find the one that worked best for my 3D printing (.stl files). My criteria was Free, offline, and non-open source. Windows 10 compatible.

If looking for stuff to do 3D printing I have heard great things about using fusion 360 and it’s free if you list yourself as a hobbyist.
Just curious what format you need to design model planes? I have no idea how you would go about formatting plane planes!!! tell me more please!
For me I have been doing everything in regular 2D. You can draw in 3D with regular AutoCAD and I have tried but it’s not very intuitive for me at least. When I’m ready that’s when I will move to fusion 360 and it’s run by autodesk. I guess for me every plane I have designed so far has been a profile so 2D is all I needed. I have slowly been working on a full fuse plane for a buddy that is loosely based off the flitetest simple scout but there are no crazy curves to need to do in 3D I have just drawn it all as 3 views. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any other question I can.
