Tom-
Nice job with Solidworks. I also have it but did my rib lofts in AutoCad since I don't have access to CNC machinery- just snips and files. Still beat the hell out of connecting dots with a French curve!
The only time I drew in 3D was for the wing tip cut contours. XL builders get plans that give them a coordinate grid to plot out the cut, and can't figure out why it doesn't work. My plot didn't work for my HDS, either
I finally concluded that's because of the 2mm general tolerance.Without fixed build jigs, your individual parts can be SR-71 quality, but every project is going to be unique.
Don't think CNC cut parts are a panacea. From painful experience, I'd say concentrate on making sure your construction set-up is exact and don't worry about the perfection of individual parts. Cut things a couple of mm oversize and use a file and a little elbow grease to make them fit.
Garangers are just like projects- the last 1% takes forever! ((at)#$$%^&* trim!) Hope to be back on the project by next weekend.
