Mike,

I am glad you're enjoying it. I have learned a lot myself.

I spent 8 hours yesterday getting the changes in to the CAD file. It is still my plan to build another B-36 using the updated documentation. The second build should go a lot quicker for a few reasons:

- I have the build thread on RC Universe to remind me how to build it
- The parts will all be on 1 or 2 sheets instead of approx 300 sheets which will save an incredible amount of plotting time
- Early in this thread I was told how to transfer the plot lines to balsa sheeting or plywood
- I have been contacted about creating sets (how many?) of laser cut parts which I will look in to when this B-36 is complete
- I won't have to install the landing gear 3 times
- The wing spars won't have to be moved
- The documentation will be up to date

I am sure that there will be more to add to that list after I get through the covering phase.

It was great to have the CAD software up and running again! It's complex software and I know how to use a very old version very well. I discovered that I had a CD with the appropriate version of Exceed 3D software which is required by the CAD software. I uninstalled the Exceed graphics software and then reinstalled it. That got me back up and running. What a relief.

I will get back to building tonight so that I can keep it moving.
