    I had some luck converting a Sketchup Model into a plane model useable by the FMS flight simulator. Rather than duplicating my notes, here's a link to the topic on RC groups.

    It's just the very start, but at some point I hope to get back and refine the process. For now the real-world is limiting my rc time a bit.

    Thanks for sharing. Now we can try out our designs, in a sim. I will be really interesting to see how realistic the flight characteristics are.
