It looks like I'll be using the scan to PDF method as a start anyways. Unfortunately I don't have an optical comparator on hard. But hopefully I'll be able to get the same results. The idea I have is to have the plane all laid out from the balsa to the landing gear, cockpit and everything else and see how it all works. Then I'll probably end up making drawings for whatever I need to.

It's actually a good thing this is going to take some time. I'd run out of time, space, money, and everything else in short order if I were to start actually building the model. Good thing Solidworks files don't take up any space when I create them.
