0:00hello guys in today's video i'm going to
0:01show you a software that you can use to
0:03design your own rc airplanes especially
0:06the wing structure which is the
0:09more or less the most complicated part
0:11of
0:12an rc aircraft so in the previous video
0:15i designed this wing
0:17and it's really cool as you can see it's
0:19uh i just call it a joy wing balsa
0:22because it's made out of basswood and i
0:24cut it with laser cutter and everything
0:26it's really cool so uh if you want to
0:28check that video just click on there or
0:30in the description below to see that
0:32video and in today's video i'm going to
0:35show you the software that i use which
0:37is called wing helper so i'm just going
0:39to open it here and win helper is the
0:42software it's paid so it costs around 80
0:47or something like that
0:48and it's but it's really cool because it
0:51would help it would help you design the
0:54structures and it will help you save a
0:57lot of time when designing a structure
0:59you know the wing so i'm going to show
1:02you first you know here's the file here
1:05is the project file for the wing
1:07that i designed and as you can see here
1:10is the software is still under
1:12development but you know
1:14it it's already functional for most of
1:17the things that we will use
1:20so as you can see here here is the wing
1:21this is the design
1:23uh that i did for for this actual wing
1:26the only thing that you cannot see there
1:28is the fuselage or
1:30i don't know how to call it i'll call it
1:32a see the fuselage because it's kind of
1:34part of the wing but it's not
1:35it's um well it functions i think it
1:38creates lift because it has the wind
1:41profile and everything but inside there
1:43is space for you know putting the
1:45battery and all the electronics and the
1:48rest of the wings
1:51structure is what you see there so of
1:53course to get to this stage of the
1:55process uh there is a lot of work
1:58involved so here i have only one panel
2:01and this is the main panel and when
2:03we're working on it you're gonna see
2:06only one half of the wing so we can edit
2:09it here
2:10and here we can see you know the left
2:13wing the other side of the wing will be
2:16just a symmetry just a copy of it and
2:19here we can see all the parameters that
2:20we have to change to
2:22to be able to achieve this state but i'm
2:25going to show you from the beginning i'm
2:27going to create a model from the
2:28beginning and i'll show you all the
2:30other things that you can do with it as
2:32i showed in the beginning of the video
2:34there is a promo code that you can apply
2:35to get 30 off for the first five people
2:38who buy wing helper with this code so
2:40that's how you apply it and let's
2:42continue with the video okay so first
2:44thing we're going to create
2:47a new panel so we click add and you will
2:51see this
2:52window here and most most of the time
2:55you are going to be working on this
2:56window so wind panel definition is
2:59called so here we are going to put the
3:00size of it or the length so how long the
3:03wing is
3:04and remember it's just one panel so
3:07um this is going to be copied
3:10like a mirror image
3:12on the other side so next thing is the
3:14root core so let's put here real quick
3:16uh 150 to say something and then
3:20uh
3:20the tip of the wing is going to be the
3:23same so i'm going to do a dihedral
3:26a very simple wing you know a
3:28two-channel glider or something like
3:30that and 150 150 the length uh 362
3:35that's okay for now and i'm going to
3:37call it
3:38inner panel
3:40and then i'm going to
3:43leave the swift at zero but for the wing
3:45for for the other design you saw uh it
3:48was something
3:50really like
3:51henry or something like that you know so
3:53you can see there in real time
3:55the changes and that's really cool of
3:57this software just you can see the
3:59changes
4:00in the 3d model but we don't need sweep
4:03and then we can modify the root twist or
4:05tip twist
4:07if you want to do something more
4:09advanced
4:10uh by twisting you know with degrees so
4:12let's make a wash out in the tip of a
4:16wing so you can see there there's a
4:17difference between the
4:19the root it's at zero degrees and in the
4:22wind tip is at minus 12 degrees so
4:26that's something used in real life but
4:28not that much but for our glider we're
4:31gonna leave it nice and simple zero
4:33degrees the dihedral is uh the two half
4:37of the wings combined so if you right
4:39here um
4:40two degrees it will actually be one
4:43degree for this wing and one degree for
4:45the other so i'm gonna use three degrees
4:48uh for each wing so it's going to be six
4:50degrees
4:51and if you wanna see it here you have to
4:53check this box here to be visible
4:56and there we go so we have three degrees
5:00for this wing here six degrees in total
5:02and we can also you know uh uncheck one
5:06of some of these
5:08boxes for example if i uncheck the ribs
5:11box of course we don't see all the ribs
5:14but we're working on it so we have to
5:15see it okay so we have the hedral
5:17everything so let's go ahead and select
5:20the airfall so we have a huge selection
5:23of air falls here so we have the you
5:26know the most common one is the clark y
5:29airfoil we're using the same throughout
5:31the wing and if you
5:33happen to select a different one for the
5:36the tip of the wing you get you know
5:39that transition nice transition between
5:41the ribs and that's really cool so you
5:43don't have to design
5:45everything from scratch in a you know
5:47design software in a like a cad software
5:49or something like that with plugins or
5:51whatever this software is specialized
5:53for this kind of applications but just
5:55to give you an idea of all the different
5:58air faults that we have there as you can
6:00see you can do this that that that and
6:03the same here so i can select different
6:05airfoil for the root
6:07uh airfoil and that's that's fine that's
6:10really good but i'm gonna select just
6:12clark y
6:14and if you don't wanna have a different
6:16airflow
6:17for you know from the root to the tip
6:19just click the x here and it will
6:22go to the default same as root and it's
6:25using the clark y so you can also modify
6:28the the thickness
6:31of the airflow so if you click here you
6:34know
6:34it's
6:361.60 more
6:38we have some extra settings here and
6:40this is mostly if you have different
6:43thicknesses or different
6:45ribs or airfoils so if you click you
6:48know a line to the bottom so then all
6:50the
6:51the air falls will be aligned to the
6:53bottom so it's easier to to build on top
6:55of the table or you can align
6:57a line on the top or don't align them at
7:00all they're going to stay in the middle
7:01or something like that
7:03by the way if you want to know more
7:05specific details about
7:07how the software works
7:09i encourage you to see or to watch the
7:12documentation video made by the creator
7:14of this software which will
7:16teach you everything you need to know i
7:19won't go into details in this video i'm
7:22just going to show you the you know the
7:23basic things and how easy it is to build
7:27your wing in here so with that said
7:30i'll leave that link in the description
7:31below and let's continue here so let's
7:33go on now and go to rips
7:36and by the way if you
7:38uh choose uh change something here for
7:41example if you put here 300
7:44you see that it didn't change here but
7:46you can go to the ribs section then
7:49select the number of ribs you want i'm
7:51going to choose eight
7:53and all of them two millimeters
7:55thickness so i'm going to use bottle
7:57wood of millimeters of thickness and
7:59then generate ribs and it will
8:01automatically
8:03go or shrink to or shrink or enlarge to
8:06the to the
8:08length you have selected here you have
8:10chosen there so now we have eight ribs
8:13and 300 millimeters
8:15of length there
8:17so that's cool now i'm let's say i'm
8:20going to change my mind and select 400
8:23millimeters
8:24it didn't change here so you have to go
8:26again and generate rips you have to be
8:28careful because
8:30if you have made some changes here it
8:32will override that okay so
8:35that's it eight ribs of two millimeters
8:38each and now here we have a list of all
8:42the the ribs that we have all the air
8:44falls
8:45and you can change the thickness of each
8:48individual rib so if you you watch
8:50carefully here we can see each one
8:54while i'm selecting them from the list
8:57so we see also the position in
8:59millimeters from the center and the
9:02thickness and the length
9:04of the
9:05airflow
9:08we have some several other options here
9:10that i'm going i'm not going to mess
9:11with them right now i'm just going to
9:13change here some of the ribs
9:16thicknesses
9:17in the in the center i'm going to
9:20make the ribs here a little bit thicker
9:22because that makes the structure a
9:24little bit stronger in the middle so
9:26three millimeters for this one and three
9:28millimeters for this one and maybe
9:30uh
9:31three millimeters for this one as well
9:33so the three first
9:36air foils are going to cut to be cut in
9:39three millimeters so as you can see so
9:41if even if i do 10 millimeters you'll
9:44see the difference there that's cool
9:48okay the next stop is to
9:50uh select or put the spars
9:53and ailerons cutters and stuff like that
9:56so the spars are very important because
9:58they're going to
9:59hold the wing together and they're
10:01mostly the strongest part of the wings
10:04going to right click and add spar in
10:06front if you put it behind well when you
10:09have more you add behind behind and so
10:11on but it doesn't matter you can i think
10:14you can change it i'm not sure but
10:16anyway so let's go and do a basic
10:19um
10:21maybe a rectangle
10:23so what i did for that is a rectangular
10:25one
10:27and then
10:28that's what i like to do there are many
10:30options here if you want to use like a
10:32you know carbon fiber tube
10:35or something like that you can do this
10:36one
10:37and so on that's easier but i like to
10:40use the classic construction using a
10:43rectangle and webbing and there is
10:44another option that is not here but i
10:46think
10:47uh it might be added in the future which
10:50is you know using some like a webbing
10:52but in the middle so let's go ahead and
10:56change some of the settings for this
10:58and let's put here 10 millimeters for
11:01the
11:02yeah maybe less let's put eight
11:05millimeters
11:07okay for the width and then it's gonna
11:09be a three millimeter maybe plywood and
11:12then yeah put the webbing maybe a
11:16behind
11:17okay
11:18and it's going to be at 30
11:20from the leading edge so let's a little
11:23bit back there
11:25cool and now we have um yeah that's
11:28everything i need for now and you can
11:31also select from which rip to which rib
11:34you want to apply it
11:35so if i do you know
11:38from rip well that's the sorry that's
11:40the
11:41the webbing but you can do it from here
11:44okay so from the rig one to reap let's
11:46say six
11:47and it will apply it only to rip six and
11:50the rest are going to have a different
11:52thing so but
11:53we want
11:55the thing for everything the spar for
11:57all of those
11:59riffs let's continue to the next one
12:01that's the leading edge now the leading
12:03edge it depends on what you want if you
12:06select diamonds drip
12:08round or standard the standard one is
12:11the only one that from this dialog or
12:13from this tab you can choose
12:16and see uh something there
12:19happening but for the rest they just
12:22tell you to do something uh some like
12:25you know some instructions on how to do
12:27for example if i want to put that round
12:29straight a leading edge well it tells me
12:32to go ahead and create uh
12:35another spar here so it's a round one
12:37that's okay and then put here maybe one
12:40percent from the leading edge and it's
12:42going to be
12:44maybe a three millimeter uh spar or a
12:47three millimeter um
12:50carbon fiber tube
12:52so or bar
12:54so let's put here the radius is going to
12:56be a two point and not 1.5 millimeters
12:59uh or maybe i can use uh maybe a larger
13:03one let's put a
13:05four millimeters or five millimeters so
13:072.5
13:08of radius
13:10and
13:11that's good and here we can see that we
13:14have to bring it back a little bit so
13:171.2
13:19no 1.5 millimeters sorry 1.5 percent or
13:231.6 percent yeah 1.6 percent from the
13:28leading edge leading edge yes now the y
13:31offset in the beginning and the end so
13:33let's
13:34let's bring it down because it's like
13:36going up here for no reason so let's
13:40let's bring it down here okay
13:42so 0.5 so let's put 0.5 on both of them
13:47and that's it
13:48so it will make a good leading edge it's
13:51going to be easy to build
13:53it could be also wood you know can be
13:55whatever but it's going to be a 5
13:58millimeter
14:00diameter now let's go to the next one
14:02trailing edge so in here we have several
14:06well we have two options we have the
14:08depth so
14:09the measurement from
14:11here to here
14:12so you can specify that measurement or
14:14you have the height so the measurement
14:17of the you know the
14:19airfoil and you know matching the
14:22measurement of that part of the airfoil
14:24it will create
14:25that uh trailing edge so i'm going to
14:29choose that one because that's also
14:32you know if i have a wood that it's five
14:34millimeters thick i can make the
14:36trailing edge easily from there
14:38then the sheeting
14:40and from that i'm going to use that vans
14:42because this one is going to be
14:44replaced soon so i'm going to use the
14:46advanced right click and add a strip
14:50in the front
14:52and then it will apply a very basic one
14:56really quick didn't have to do much
14:58and
14:59it's going to be applied to all of them
15:01that's good
15:03you can give it a name if you want so
15:04i'm going to
15:06put
15:07balsa
15:08balsa sheets okay and then i'm going to
15:10select here all the parameters that i
15:12want so
15:14the length
15:16of the start to finish so starts at zero
15:19that's okay zero and then
15:22i'm going to i can just leave it there
15:24or i can just go over
15:27the
15:28the sparse to cover the whole thing so
15:30it would be a lot stronger so it's up to
15:32you but i prefer to do it like that
15:35and then that's actually it that's
15:38that's pretty much that
15:39now that we are ready with that uh we
15:42can go to the final stage which is
15:44construction
15:46and in here we can add
15:48lightning holes
15:49and that's really cool thing to do
15:52although if you know if the password is
15:55really
15:56uh weak or something it will break
15:59easily
16:00so i often
16:02operate these numbers a little bit to
16:04make the the whole thing thicker
16:07and then let's put his here well
16:09something like that along those lines
16:11but it's not needed for all the ribs so
16:14i'm not gonna do it for now i did it for
16:16the wing but i'm not gonna do it for
16:18this design because we're trying to do
16:19everything simple and also this will add
16:22a lot of time for laser cutting this or
16:25cnc machining all of these ribs so if
16:28you don't want to do to have more time
16:31to to that process well just
16:34avoid this but you have two options you
16:36have the standard and triangular and you
16:39can also change that in
16:41once you have the exported drawing file
16:45you can draw your own shapes if you want
16:47but this way you can have an idea on how
16:49it looks and everything
16:51but yeah i'll show you once we export
16:53this to a cat drawing file
16:56but for now i'm going to leave it like
16:59with no holes
17:01you have all the options here as you can
17:04see there
17:05so i think this way is
17:07a lot stronger i'm going to leave it for
17:09now like that and i'll show you
17:11another trick that is really interesting
17:14you can also have these
17:16rib comp that will help you with the
17:17construction process as uh showing here
17:20but because this wing is very simple i
17:22don't think we need it so i'm going to
17:24delete that and i'm going to leave it
17:25like that and i'm going again back to
17:28the ribs and you can select each of them
17:31and if you don't want to have these uh
17:34cutouts
17:36or these holes
17:37for the the rest of the ribs we can do
17:39this you can right click and select exam
17:42from lightning holes so you click that
17:45and you get rid of that you see that
17:47that's really cool for each of the
17:50air falls that you don't want that
17:52you see
17:54so i'm gonna do it for all of them
17:56except for the two
17:58first ones here and that's cool so we're
18:01already here actually so now we can
18:03click ok
18:04and we have our
18:06house in here
18:08and one thing i forget is you know a
18:12some kind of a reinforcement in the
18:14middle here which is going to be out of
18:16a tubing metallic tubing or you know
18:18carbon fiber tubing whatever
18:21just to
18:22make the structure a lot stronger so i'm
18:24going to select that and edit again
18:27and i'm going to the spar section and
18:29add s bar behind again this is going to
18:32be a round spar and i don't want to see
18:35the
18:36the sheeting
18:38because i want to see the spar and the
18:40spar is going to be up to the
18:43third
18:44rib hello guys so this is joeville from
18:46the future so i was doing it in the
18:49incorrect way there in that video so i'm
18:52going to do it correctly here and what
18:54you have to do to put that joiner
18:56between the wings is add a new spar and
19:01it's going to be not a round one but a
19:03round joiner
19:05so a round joiner is specifically for
19:07that
19:08and i'm going to put it here until the
19:11rip number two for example
19:14and then well let's put a number three
19:16and then i'm going to specify you know
19:18the radius and all of that so i'm going
19:20to put
19:22a five millimeter diameter or maybe a
19:25little bit more let's just put a six
19:26millimeter diameter so that's three
19:29radius
19:30and as you can see there it does it
19:33automatically
19:34so
19:35it will adjust you know the height in
19:38here and there so it's going to be
19:40exactly parallel to the horizon
19:43and that way we don't have to do many
19:45steps to figure out how to you know how
19:48to place it there and everything it will
19:50do it automatically for us and that's
19:52perfect in the in the video was doing it
19:55you know with the round joiner and doing
19:57all sort of things to keep it straight
20:00but this is
20:01done automatically that's perfect so
20:03that's why
20:05so that's how you do it so let's click
20:07ok and you'll see
20:09that's our wing joiner right there
20:13so that's perfect
20:14okay let's go now to create the outer
20:17panels of the wing so for that we're
20:19going to add a new one here
20:22yes and then and there are several
20:24options here you can go in detail
20:26but i'll just select the default one and
20:30here
20:31here it is and for this one i don't need
20:34this
20:35kind of uh
20:36bar here so i'm going to
20:39delete it
20:40i can put something else there you know
20:42some kind of a
20:44different spa or something to join the
20:46two wings together but for now i'm going
20:48to leave it like that and then
20:50this wing is going to be a lot smaller
20:53this panel because this is the outer
20:54panel so i want to
20:56make it smaller
20:58and it's going to be about 200
20:59millimeters
21:01and it's going to have what is going to
21:04have only f
21:0760 millimeters
21:10maybe 80 millimeters
21:14and the root cause should be the same to
21:16match this wing
21:18maybe 100 millimeters and that that
21:20should be it and then go here and then
21:22put four
21:24maybe five
21:26and then click proceed
21:28and we have our half wing there
21:32so that's basically it for this part so
21:35if i click ok you will see the whole
21:36wing ready here
21:38and this is a very basic wing
21:42for a trainer glider or something like
21:44that this reminds me of so many gliders
21:47that i have
21:48flown
21:50and
21:51similar to the riser 100 actually as
21:53well so let's export this right
21:56for that we're going to go to the
21:59dxf
22:01it's very simple just like here where
22:03you want to save it i'm going to save it
22:04in the desktop
22:06then you can you know
22:08draw the original rip silhouette so this
22:11is going to be the airfoil
22:13uh if you click that it will draw
22:16you know the airflow and on top of that
22:18the cut that will be made
22:20so if you want to use that just click it
22:23sometimes it's useful
22:25but it doesn't matter so i'm gonna click
22:27it and you'll see and then and that's
22:30okay so it will save that file but you
22:32can also export it as a
22:35you know a pdf
22:37so export pdf
22:39and then you can select the kind of
22:42thing that you want to the kind of
22:43format that you want to export to so i'm
22:46going to choose a0 a big export and it's
22:50going to be as a pdf i'm going to click
22:52ok
22:53and you will see in a second what what
22:56will happen so it exported all the ribs
22:59that you have to cut if you want to you
23:01know print out the ribs and do it by
23:04hand it will print several pages with
23:06that it will show you the information
23:09about the
23:10the dihedral
23:12so from the panel
23:14one to panel two or whatever the degrees
23:17the
23:18distance
23:19or the size of each panel the the height
23:23of each panel with the dihedral taking
23:25into consideration and so on it's really
23:28good information and then we have here
23:30the panels actually a0 was too big for
23:33this so you can build in on top of it
23:36and start
23:38building right away that's cool but
23:40we're going to use the dxf and you can
23:42also export has a scat file which is a
23:45file that you have to also convert using
23:47an open source software to be able to
23:50export
23:51obg or you know object files for 3d
23:54software and it's really interesting
23:56because you can do cool renderings or
23:58you can use the 3d the actual 3d model
24:01of your wing or you know the design to
24:04for a 3d software whatever you want to
24:06do something more complicated but we're
24:08not going to do that in this video i'm
24:11just going to show you the dxf file
24:14which is the
24:15drawing file so here we have it this is
24:18the wing 2. so i'm going to open nanocad
24:21again
24:22and this time i'm going to import that
24:25file into nanocat
24:28and
24:28remember this is the free software
24:31for cad design
24:33and
24:34you can also use autocad or whatever
24:36other cad software
24:37for this kind of drawings but in this
24:40case i prefer nanocut because it's very
24:42similar to autocad you know in terms of
24:44the
24:45layout and the commands and everything
24:47so let's see what we have here so this
24:49is the dxf file
24:52uh with the you know all the drones so
24:54we have the the wind panels
24:57view from the top
24:59the dihedral angles are not considered
25:01in this wind panel so
25:03in this view we see the actual length of
25:06each panel because the dihedral is not
25:09considered so you have to this is
25:12perfect because we can build on top of
25:14it we can print these plans and
25:15everything and build on top of it and
25:17here's where i was uh telling you about
25:20the you know the
25:22the the profile
25:24drawing so you can delete this if you
25:26don't need it and you have here your
25:29the profile that will be cut from the
25:31machine
25:32so these are the
25:34the wing ribs that we're going to be
25:36cutting
25:38whether you're using a
25:40laser cutter cnc machine of any kind or
25:42you're cutting it by hand
25:44you can do whatever modification you
25:46want
25:48for instance i can draw
25:50a different kind of
25:52lightening holes so i can do this
25:55that whatever you want and then you know
25:58trim the excess
26:03so right there i have a different kind
26:05of uh airflow that i'll be cutting so
26:08yeah it's unlimited possibilities with
26:10uh with the cat software
26:12and this is cool because you already
26:14have the most um most difficult part
26:18which are the wind rips and everything
26:22all the elements that you need to cut
26:24design in this drawing so you have the
26:27the this is the webbing that you have to
26:30cut as well so that you know in the
26:32perfect size you have all the
26:34information here and then the rest you
26:37know the outer panel of the wing and
26:39everything else the only thing i don't
26:41see here is that you see you know the
26:43identification of each rib but you don't
26:46see that identification here should be
26:49detailed here so but we know that this
26:52is the first one so this is the first
26:53one then the second one third fourth and
26:56so on so they are in order so there's no
26:59need to do that same thing here
27:02and well this is very square so
27:05it has the measurements but it's very
27:06simple to understand
27:08and
27:09this the spar news bar i think this one
27:13is there one in the middle so you don't
27:15have to cut this this is the actual
27:17round
27:18metal tubing that goes inside so after
27:21that you can you know move around things
27:23and
27:24you know cut them or whatever
27:27so i can make a copy of this or move it
27:29or whatever you know and maybe for
27:32example for my laser cutter what i did
27:35is measured the size of the wood
27:38that i will cut and then you know did a
27:41rectangular shape the same size so i
27:44know my limits the limits i have to put
27:47the pieces in
27:49and then
27:50you know copy and paste all the pieces
27:52that will go there of course we're not
27:54going to we're not going to cut this
27:56we're not going to cut this either sorry
27:58this should be
27:59cut actually like this now i'm recording
28:01this later that i realized this but i
28:04think i didn't select this option here
28:06for the leading edge and that's why in
28:08the drawing it wasn't cutting out the
28:11the rip that section that what was
28:13supposed to be cut out and that's why
28:16so just make sure that you're using this
28:19trimming tool again
28:21use that
28:23and cut
28:24this part and this part here so that's
28:27the way the the
28:29this profile should be cut
28:31like that
28:32and
28:33the rest well
28:34you do the same with all of them and of
28:36course we need to cut two of each
28:37because we need one for each wing so we
28:40put that like that and then copy it
28:43and maybe rotate it to save some space
28:45and
28:46and take advantage of every
28:49inch of material you have there or every
28:51millimeter of material
28:53and you don't waste too much material
29:00something like that so that's first rib
29:02for both wings and so on so you start
29:05putting everything in there and you know
29:08ready to to be cut and then save this or
29:11maybe copy this and create a new one
29:14a new document and in here you will
29:16place
29:17the file that you will send to your cnc
29:21software for laser coding or cnc in that
29:25these pieces so finally if you want to
29:26print your plans with all of this
29:28information all of these drawings what i
29:30usually do is you know i go to a layout
29:34and i go here and
29:36right click and page setup
29:38then i just edit it
29:40and i just select here adobe pdf because
29:44you know well if you have a printer or
29:45whatever you can select that but i
29:47select pdf because i have more options
29:50here
29:51and i select you know
29:52a1 and then
29:55the
29:56scale should be one to one
29:58one to one
29:59remember and also we have
30:02forgotten something really important we
30:04have to change the units so i'm going to
30:07type in units
30:08and when you type in units you see here
30:11it says undefined make sure you're
30:13you're selecting the ones that you're
30:15working on in my case millimeters i'm
30:17going to click ok and now everything
30:19it's in millimeters and now in the
30:21layout i'm going to change this layout
30:25so i'm going to right click page setup
30:28and
30:29edit
30:30and then
30:33one to one
30:34but it's millimeters
30:36one to one again here perfect and i
30:40have selected a1 because it's a big
30:42sheet of paper
30:44click ok close and now i can
30:47this is the way i do it it doesn't have
30:50to be
30:51the way you should do it but it works
30:54for me so i copy one of the wing panels
30:57or one of the wings
30:59paste it in here and then the other one
31:01and the same thing
31:03and the same with all of the other
31:05uh
31:06wing rips and everything that you want
31:08to represent in your plans you draw your
31:10plan here and because i know that i
31:13don't have to go over this
31:15working area i know everything will be
31:18printed perfectly so what i do then is
31:21go to plot
31:25and here you select
31:27what format you want remember and keep
31:29an eye on this scale one to one to have
31:32everything
31:33in this in the correct size and maybe
31:36you should also draw a line here of you
31:39know
31:40that measures
31:42five millimeters or whatever so that way
31:44you know that the scale is right you can
31:47have that as a reference so if i put
31:49here five
31:51and then another five millimeters from
31:53here
31:57that way
31:58when whenever this plan is printed uh if
32:01i take a ruler and i measure from here
32:03to here
32:04five or if you have any other reference
32:06that you know the measurement of
32:09and it's correct then the plan is in the
32:11right scale so then i go to plot and
32:15export the whole thing as a pdf and then
32:18i order my prints
32:19and that's it and there we have it it's
32:21the other way around for some reason but
32:24i don't know why so i'm just gonna click
32:26here 180 degrees and that's it that's my
32:29plan
32:30a1 so i can order a print off my wing
32:33and that's it guys i hope you enjoyed
32:35this video and i'll see you next time
