Default Airbike Plans

I'll take a look, thanks, but I'm really interested in building one
from scratch.

I have access to AutoCAD 10 and a large-format plotter...is there
anything I can do to help convert those plans?


And I thought I was the slowest person in the world to accept an upgrade...

Seriously, though, be very carefull about using AutoCAD-10 or AutoCAD-12 for
that type of project. They are outstanding programs; but they were designed
for architectural work and their handling of curves is based on constant
radii--so you could never accurately loft a wing or plot any part that needs
to follow a complex curve.
