I've been experimenting with TurboCAD, and thought I'd share some results. I haven't been flying for a few years (pers'nal reasons, y'know) - but that's about to change. I didn't use a micrometer to take measurements, I just used a ruler and guestimated. I figure the measurements should be close enough to design models to put them in. The subjects are an HP.61, a Norvel .061, and a Norvel .074.

Those look great. I have TurboCad 7 at home but havn't used it. I just got Solidworks at work and am learning it.

Maybe I'll give an engine a try.

Digital_Trucker,

Nice work! Do you do that for a living? I like to dabble in CAD too (as a hobby) but my results aren't nearly as impressive.

I don't do this for a living, as my handle implies, I'm a professional truck driver. This is strictly hobby for me. I haven't had any official training, just the learning materials that came with the software. I used to do some drafting using just a steel ruler and a pencil, so it's not TOTALLY foreign to me.

They look nice. I do some work with AutoCad 2005. But have not gotten to the solid 3D stage yet. How long did those drawings take?

digital_trucker

I didn't really keep track of the time. It took me a while, though - false starts and whatnot. I sorta made it up as I went along

I think the 3D stuff is very cool. How long have you been doing CAD?

digital_trucker

That .074 render was my first project, actually. The .061 was my second, and the HP .61 was my third.

What TurboCad version do you have? I have Deluxe V11 and have just started to tabble in it. I was trying to do some 3D solids but couldn't get it to work. I'm sure it has the capability just haven't been able to spend alot of time on it.
