He will certainly be able to put you onto some plans/drawings for 1:1 or 85% scale aircraft kits. How much time do you have? Probably 30-60 days. I'm sure that none of those having anything to do with the scheduling/funding have any idea of what it takes. It probably wouldn't be worth the effort to work up an estimate to present to them and see the looks on their faces. Like in most things, if you aren't a part of this aircraft hobby, you don't know what it takes to get the finished product. Good Luck! Mike Kavanaugh P.S. Hope this won't interfere with with your decal production. I'm about to send a proposal to you and I'm a cash customer, not a budgeting committee.

Hans One thing about DXF that you should be aware of is that it can save in 2D or 3D format. If the file is 3D Corel will have trouble with it. I haven't loaded Corel 10 yet (it's still sitting on my desk at work) but I would imagine that there would be nothing they could do to change this situation. BTW - Corel's inport/export functions are very robust. and it can handle a wide range of file types. Peter If you are still having trouble with that file you could mail it to my work address: mark.w.miller@goodrich.com I should be able to open it with something. If it's 3D, Microstation will do the trick - if 2D Corel. Then I can export it to whatever you are looking for.

But January Sales were nice and Weyl strikes again Message-ID: <20020107032835.DFY28767.priv-edtnes12-hme0.telusplanet.net@ray> I have to say it, I never got a model or book for Christmas. I hinted big time. But I got the normal Christmas staples as in clothes, clothes, socks and clothes.. To redress this I thought I would take a trip to Aviation World. Bad idea really bad idea, they had a sale on. I picked up the the following. Crowood Aviation series Airco and Fokker Books. The Airco book is by Mick Davis and is a really good book. I also got the FMP profiles on DeHavilland aircraft vols 1 and 2. and the Salmson book. Now for the downer I have started reading the Fokker Book, I should have guessed when the author mentions Weyl as one of his sources. He does say that he thought that Weyl was biased. However then the Author starts the same idiocy as Weyl did, you would swear some of the book was written by Weyl. Whilst I realise that Fokker was a very shrewd and calculating businessman this book makes him out to be a complete incompetent who happened to be a good pilot. Not sure what to say here but in my opinion this is a shoddily researched book.Not all is lost though the photos are worth what I paid for the book. In summary unless you can get this book at a sale price I would skip the Crowood Fokker book. Which is a real shame I have the other OT Crowood books and they are all keepers. Now I wish Alex Imrie had written this book!

Dai Rikki wire is "high end" fly tying line. What I've found is that it is more supple than the other line I have seen. I think it is stronger too. For most of what we do I think generic fly tying line would be fine. I don't use Dai Rikki because I still have about 100 yards of generic line. (That ought to be good for about one Dh-2.) No problems to report yet. I have two sizes .003 and .005 inch diameter. If you are going to rig lines that sag, such as WWI and WWII warships, I'd go for the Dai Rikki because of the way it sags compared to other lines. That's where the suppleness of the Dai Rikki really pays off. At any rate, the monofiliment method of rigging a model is the only way I can imagine of rigging any more. My models are so much more idiot resistant and stronger too. Let me know if you have any more questions. Later!
