I started "virtually" building of my Version A aerocap design. Sketchup is great for working out details in 3D. I tweaked it by flattening the the rear center and pushing the departure angle all the way down to 22 degrees over the tailgate. Starting over with a framework then skinning it was very good exercise. Now I am more confident about the feasibility of the design and fabrication.
