 Posted: Thu Feb 01, 2007 3:29 am Post subject: Float plans on CAD |
 |
|
The guy that runs MukTuk Floats and sells plans for wooden floats has
his plans in a CAD system on a computer and you tell him what length
or bouyancy you want and he scales the plans in the CAD system and then
prints them out.
It would be very interesting if some of the newer 3D CAD systems
could model the Zenair floats which would allow for great viewing but
also the ability to scale them up and down to suit the particular
requirement.
I have the Plans for the old Northaire aluminum floats on CD
that WICKS used to sell. If I had a CAD system and knew how to operate
it I always thought it would be good to put them into the CAD system.

a lot of work would go into any revamp of the system and a lot of input on how to build them needs to go into that. what about building a set from glass? how much work would that be? certified floats and the price they get for them leave a lot of people on the lower weight experimental class wanting more. there really isn't any good plans/kits options for float building and if anyone put a lot of effort into providing that people on these web forms would jump at the chance to copying and distributing them. like we are now. a person cant afford to put a lot of money into doing it for profit and doing it right for free is less practical malcolm michigan kit foxer
