Hehe

Sorry for taking so long to respond, was busy for a couple days now. Well, I am looking for the detailed Geometric information (e.g. Tail area, wing width, rudder area etc.) I will post some pics as soon as I have the 3-D modell finished :)

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think he's beyond that stage - anyhow that's the "default" P38 tutorial that is useful to learn the program.


If you can't find a specific technical/construction manual, the best I can suggest for geometric/area information is to take the measurements from a scale drawing (not necessarily a 3-view) ...

Some scale drawings I've seen even include details such as aileron travel angles...
