![]() "Robert Hart" wrote in message ... Hi I am part owner of a Nimbus 2c (Alice in Wonderland - see http://www.hart.wattle.id.au/alice) and we want to reprofile her wings as she has acquired a definite 'lump' on the upper surface of the wing. We are looking for either a set of templates/guides (located here in Australia of course) or alternatively, the data we need to allow us to get a set of templates/guides laser cut. Our local expert tells us we need only the front 1/3 of the wing section and the first template should be at about 300mm from the wing root and then at 1m centres outward to the tip. We've had a look on the Schempp Hirth web site for this data, but can't find it. I'm hoping that someone here can provide it - or else the information that would allow me (with the aid of a spread sheet) to generate the data needed. Tks Robert Hello from a fellow N2C owner. So far, my wings look pretty good. The FX-67-170 inner wing and FX-67-150 outer wing airfoil coordinates available at the NASG airfoil database in a .DAT format. See: http://www.nasg.com/afdb/list-airfoil-e.phtml There are a number of PC airfoil plotting programs that can plot the airfoil from the .DAT file format at the desired chord and save the shape as a .DXF file. Many laser cutting shops can cut that shape in the material of your choice from the .DXF file. I just had a set of airfoil templates made for winglets out of plexiglass. The cost was trivial.
