Just tried to use Winfoil but not only did the extremely antiquated interface put me off so did the file handling and associated problems trying to im...

Just did the same exercise using Winghelper (first time user!). Created all ribs with spar cut outs ready for cutting in about 15 mins - not bad.

I just had a quick go at creating the wing in Fusion 360, imported the wing png, sketched the outlines, created root and tip planes and then used the ...

@ch3no2 the Clark Y airfoil has a default AOA so to negate that I imported with the 2°. Of course I could have rotated the airfoil after I had importe...

Steps I take to get ribs for laser cutting for an elliptical wing with washout. Create plane for root rib. Create sketch on root plane and im...

Sub £500 Winfoil Can be used for wing, tail and fuse. Designs can be exported as dxf. Windows only. Interface a bit ‘old school’ but looks like it...

Re WingHelper - I was wrong, it can do an elliptical wing shape.

@pylonuk nice detailed post Barrie, I’ll do the same for what I’ve done in Fusion 360 but it will be quite a long post!

Agreed that this is not the correct place but in answer to your comment, you do a 3D sketch between the root and tip (with washout) then create a plan...

On first look it cannot create an elliptical wing or rounded wing tips, so some limitations. But for a straight LE / TE, including tapered, it is very...

@woody1958uk hadn’t come across that bit of software before so will be giving it a go. Creating an elliptical wing with washout and the subsequent rib...

Just seen some talk about infra red diode laser modules being produced. That should overcome the problem of trying to cut white or clear materials.
