Hi Spooky,

I believe you are trying to make the name just a little bit too complicated - "Scimitar" is fine on it's own. That's a good name and goes on the list.

Anymore anyone?

No I dot not want to design my own aerofoil, as mentioned previously I am planning on using an existing NACA 0015 15% section for the wing and possibly an NACA 0006 6% for the tailplane.

However, I still need that aerofoil shape either as an AutoCAD drawing or DXF file to import into Inventor. It's the generation of those smooth accurate curves that I want to get right.

Am I missing something, do you have another way of achieving this? - if so please do tell.

Dave

STOP PRESS- I have just received some new information and instead of the 15% wing section I intended to use I may now opt for an NACA 0013 13% thickness.
