RE: Alibre - Simple tips tracing parts -> extruding in 3D?
I haven't used Alibre for a while but I think there is a tolerance setting for healing. If that does't work zoom in to the error and make the correction. Since you bought it you should have access to Alibre's forums. You may want to post your question there. Mike

RE: Piaggio "Avanti II" and King Air B200 in 3D
What airfoil will you use? I exchanged some emails with the designer of the airfoil and it's not available. Just wondering.

You might want to look back a few pages of posts, he might have passed the short kit production on to someone else. Usually, he has been pretty responsive.

RE: Russian Yak-3
Evil_Merlin, I'm aware of a few, which one's are you referring to? One set is from Roamin' Research (I think, spelling may be off) but I've never been able to find a set. As to reinventing the wheel, the reason I'm attempting to develop plans is for the challenge not necessarily because there are no plans available. Originally, I was going aiming at about 40" wingspan for an electric, but I've since doubled it. I will probably still do the 40" version just to work out some basic layout issues. I know there is a very big difference between a 40" and a 80" plane but some of the basic structure can be worked out on a smaller scale, I hope. Update: Just found the Roamin' Research Mig-3 plan on Ebay, tempting... Mike

Need help w/TurboCad 2D -> 3D
I've attached a TurboCad file that I saved with TC 11.2, I've added a .txt suffix so I could upload it. I originally drew the outlines, etc with QCad on linux and now I'm trying to create a 3D representation of the stab and it's not going well. I rotated all of the ribs on the Y axis to get them upright. I'm trying to loft the ribs but I can not select them. What am I doing wrong? Are the ribs not in the correct format? It seem like the ribs are not a 2d entity so I can't select them. How do I convert them to a 2d entity. I made the ribs blocks in QCad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

RE: Rollin' my own 50CC Yak 54
John, Would you be willing to give a small tutorial on how you created the formers? I'd especially be interested in how you came up with the shape of the former at the back of the cockpit, the one that is angled back. Do you create a shell and then take a cross section of the shell on an angle? Thanks, Mike

RE: Bezier vs Spline
So, what you're saying is that if I'm putting a design together that I may want to have laser cut. I should use more segments when making curves instead of trying to get the longest curved segment I can. Correct?

RE: Bezier vs Spline
Does the choice of using bezier or splines matter if you're going to be sending your design to a laser cutter? Do they have a preference? I though one type allowed for faster cut times. Mike

RE: Tiny Airplane Power Setup
Thanks you for the comments. I took it out this morning and I'm still figuring out the setup. Unfortunately, I planted it and will have to do some repairs. Basicly, splittered the two middle formers. It's repairable and at least I figured out that the power setup is ok. These small electrics are pretty squirrelly, need a steady hand Mike

Tiny Airplane Power Setup
I've built a Tiny airplane from the plans and I'm a little concerned about the power system setup I am using. It weighs 8.7 oz RTF. I noticed on the plans it said 3.5-4.5 oz, but I have the optional wing tips so the wingspan is about 28". The power setup is 7.4v 900mah TP 10C battery Komodo 278 v1 motor wound with 13 turns of double strand 28 ga wire Wye termination Cool Running 25a ESC Prop is a GWS 9050 I'm concerned that I'm not going to have enough power/thrust to really fly the plane. Any suggestions? Should I go to a 3s battery? Change the prop? Change the # of turns? Go to 24 ga wire? I'm a little new to the electric stuff and am still trying to sort out all the options for winding the motor and mateing it with the correct prop. Thanks, Mike
