Hello,

Intersested in the most basic CAD program (freeware) for doing profile models. No airfoils, just profile fuselage wing and tail. Other capabilites OK but just getting some starts for profile foam plane designs.

Thanks,
Don

Thanks Mark. By the way, was impressed with your F3A design and how it presented in the air during the NATS.

There are scores, maybe hundreds by now, of "basic" CAD programs.

Here is a good one: http://www.plm.automation.siemens.co...2d/index.shtml

The 2D version is free, simple and powerful.

To get your FREE copy of Solid Edge Free 2D Drafting, follow one of these links:

No links present

Also went to google, registered to e-mail a copy, to no avail....

Then you obviously did not click on the link in the message above yours.

That takes you to the Solid Edge 2D free download page.

As far as simple 3D CAD is concerned, I would tend to recommend RcCad (www.rccad.com [link=http://www.rccad.com]RcCad[/link])... I wrote it because I did not find any tool for designing my Rc planes )
