I am amazed.

Wow! I am super impressed with this build. Not only the execution, but the 3D modeling is awesome. I thought I was so smart thinking to use sketchup to work out my ideas on how to build my aerocap, and not only is it commonplace, but you guys are actually making it work.

KamperBob, even though A looks more theoretically correct, B wins on the style points!

NeilBlanchard, any chance you can send me some of your files to play with? I thought I had a good start, but I'm getting stuck.

Q: So once you have this model on the computer, how do you translate it to the ribs of the flat material? I can imagine how to do it in excel, but does sketchup have a tool?

Awesome stuff!
