The heck with the balancing...how did you make that diagram?
I scan the plans, convert the images to a 2D structure using Microsoft Visio. They are all to scale within 1/16". I can recreate the plans using a printer. They can be converted to dxf files for CAD parts cutting. Mostly Iuse the big views to play with covering schemes.
pic 1 is a 2D of a 4Star60 wing
pic 2/4 are the prototypes of the current covering job
Yea - I need to get a life ...
Oh yea, I lay out rolls of covering colors and drag-n-drop the covering pieces onto the rolls to figure out how much covering I need and get an idea how to keep the scrap to a minimum.
