These 7 videos are awesome. I have sketched up my Piper Cub using the same picture you used and now would love to have additional videos on setting the foam thickness so the FliteTest Power pods fit as well as those score cut fold channels when glue the sections together, that would be great!

Jason I just wanna say a big thanks for these wonderful tutorials. I love your relaxed style of presentation which helps make these vids a joy to watch. Big kudos to you man.

Kevin Tribelhorn commented on 24 Jan 2014

Also, what version of SketchUp are you using? I am unable to adjust the thickness in the measurements field on SketchUp 7, 8 or i think even 13.

When I am using components such as a wing and I duplicate and mirror they refuse to snap to each other. I've tried both ways the negative 1 scale and flip along. This is also true if I select the component for the component list. Sketchup 1.5.2.686 on OSX 10.10

Jason Anderson commented on 20 Jan 2015

Double check that object snapping is turned on.. //help.sketchup.com/en/article/95964 (listed near the bottom)

I'm working this problem ... but, I can't find a library of airfoils which is compatible with SketchUp. They mostly seem to be .dat files or profili. Where did you find your airfoils?`
