I was just reading Mike Robey "a flite test inspired Hurricane" article
http://flitetest.com/articles/a-flitetest-inspired-hurricane
in his article he said that he traced over the FT plan with his CAD software to make a DXF file.
while tracing works, it's slow and you can make errors.
the easiest way I know of making a CAD file from the FT free plans is as follows
1. download the FT free plan (which in PDF file format)
2. download a trial version of RHINO3D https://www.rhino3d.com/download
3. install and open Rhino then choose 'file' - 'import', then choose the FT free plan you just downloaded.
4. choose save as - DWG or DXF or any other type you want
and your done.
