    You can write to Jason, as I did and ask his permission. Jason was kind enough to grant permission to me (if Randy is willing to share his SU files) and I suspect he would be be willing to do so for others.

    I did not ask, but maybe if the final plans were given to Jason, he might post them on RCgroups. don't know, just a thought.

    Randy, how did you do the little triangle thing. I tried and couldn't find a way to do it except doing it one by one. I though there might be a way to multiply it between two constrained lines but I didn't find the way, if there is one.

    P.S. I'm talking about the two support strips.

    To make multiples of something, start by making it a group and then use the move tool by holding down the control key as you left click, hold and drag the object to its next location. You can type in a number to move it exactly the distance you specify. After it has been moved but before selecting any other tools, type * n where n is the number of multiples you want to copy. That will put n number of copies spaced the same distance as the first from each other.

    Hope that helps. There are probably better instructions for doing this in Google SU help but this should give you the basic concept.

    TigerPilot, i drew a series of triangles the length i wanted.... i drew like 3 of em then copy and paste a few times. then i drew a line along top of them. after that i selected that top line only, and did a rotate move from one end, that's what distorted the patters, and got the taper i wanted. then go in between the triangles and erase. hope this makes sense to you. randy.

    Flashsolutions, I knew that one. What I want to know is how do you make it if the two lines are no parallel. It will have to grow or shrink as you copy it. Look at the side strip in the photo on the first page.

    BTW, you don't necessarily have to group them in order to multiply them. As long as they are selected together they will move or copy together.

    Ahh.. I see. I thought you meant the little triangles in the ailerons.

    And yes, you don't need to make them a group.

    Looks like Randy answered your question though.
