The change over to solid modelling will be a revelation for you. By preference I would use nothing else, however since I have been using AutoCAD since Rel. 2.6 I know the benefits of working both side-by-side. I wish you luck with your learning curve.

I will be more than glad to give you details of the plane and a set of the files as well, all I ask is that you don't sell the design to anybody or make money from it, and that you let me know how you get on with the build/flying so I can make any changes that may be necessary.

I have a minor alteration to the tailplane I want to make before I offer the files - if you notice in the photograph there is not a lot to attach the heat shrink covering to at the point where the tailplane meets the fuselage. It's a simple mod. and one I will do before offering the files. I may remove some weight and alter the wing tips as well.

In the mean time it is 30" span and has elements of several different planes. I have not fixed on a motor yet but probably something of the size of a Hacker A20 22L running a 10x4.7" APC slow fly prop, 910mAH 3 cell li-po pack and 20A esc. Hitec HS55's size and weight servos and lightweight Rx.

I will try to make time this week to complete the changes and I will post again when they are complete.

Happy landings,

Dave
