Default RE: Design Programs

YOu will never believe me but I Microsoft paint is something I can draw anything with ease. For the original DV I drew it airfoils and all in paint, and then had the Japanese just blow it up however many thousand percent to get to 2 meter with fuse length. I the only thing that we altered from that hwas to move the stab up a half inch. From there it is
transferedinto Master CaD by the Japanese. I have always just been able to look at a plane and and tell the charecteristics instantly for some reason but never had any formal education about aerodynamics. I also really believe in the if it looks right it probably is and vice versa.

Hi Chip,
When designing aircraft, what CAD programs have you used? Which do you like best and why? What other resources(books, buddies, religious chants) do you use? Thanks for your help, Bryce.
