RE: Want to learn AutoCad?

Yeah, I'm using that site too for learning it.

I have been fortunate enough to avoid the bit of autoCAD cost, due to having an engineer father with autoCAD on his laptop.

Well, I am making my first R/C aircraft, and doing it from scratch. Dont worry, I know I am throwing myself in at the deep end, with punctures in my water wings. But feel good, since BMatthews talked...

RE: Help a beginner with his Hawker Typhoon

the indevidual wing length is 57cm, and the strip ailerons are each 50cm, so most of the length is used. Should I use more? As for the fin/rudder areas etc, I am basically basing my proportions off...

RE: Help a beginner with his Hawker Typhoon

Well, I would still rather build a plane for the engine. If I see a good deal on a similar size engine whilst I am building i will probably get that instead, but I have been practicing in G3...

RE: Help a beginner with his Hawker Typhoon

RE: The Mystery Engine

um, sorry, you lost me. where did I say it is 10cc? All I know is it said 1.5cc on the box, but that was just a hand written label which seems to be wrong unless this engine is greatly obese. Do you...
