Q2 3D Model Update

Hey all,
Thanks Leon. I seemed to remember that I downloaded those files from the Valdosta Tech website back around 2000. I think the class had been working on this in 1998, and the files remained archived online until around 2005. The links are now broken, but luckily I downloaded everything as well.

The original page had all of the files listed individually, but they also had a zipped file to allow people to download everything together. I'll include that file here in case anyone can find them of value as well:



The thing I didn't like about the the DXF file was that it was basically a huge point field with a lot of overlapping vertexes. It made it very cumbersome to work with. But I was using the file in a 3D animation package and not in a CAD program. You might see what I'm talking about when you open it.

I'm just speculating, but I suspect that the students modelled Larry Koutz's Q-200. I say this only because Larry lived very close to Valdosta, GA and I seem to remember the picture of Larry below being on the schools webpage about the project.



Unfortunately, Larry died in a non-aviation related accident at home. Very sad.

Also, I increased the file size limit for the forums to 10MB. That way we shouldn't run into any further file size limitations while trying to collaborate! Sorry about that Leon. If you have something larger than 10MB just let me know. I can increase the limit again if needed, but I want to prevent spammers from uploading "bad stuff."

Hope this is helpful. Please let me know.

Warm regards,
