A long time ago there was a young noob, his name was @Timmy. He was very green, very wet behind the ears. He was humble and polite and inquisitive, and he asked incredibly noob questions, like "How do you design a plane?" But then he came back a month later with a very respectable, unique, self-designed plane. He didn't cry for attention and didn't try to shout the loudest. He didn't have time to waste on children, though he was quite young himself. He didn't demand everybody shoot videos to show him how to do things. He didn't beg the community to design his plane for him. When given sound advice he listened, and implemented the sensible parts the best he could. He didn't go around declaring how special or how intelligent he is. He was here, he asked questions, he built planes, did his thing, showed us how well his planes fly, then moved on. And now our dear @Timmy is no more.

Oh believe me, the drafting definitely is faste, I just have no clue how to do it. I'm only 14 lol
I did try to take a drafting class but it was more the architectural drafting, not the kind I would use for airplanes

Maybe on here a LIKE actually means something, I only use likes when someone gives out good information and is accurate....As far as I know.

Its not that i apply a ton of any "real" drafting, still have a few rulers and such, but no big drafting table or anything. (Though that would be fun 🤔) its just the the experience transferring 3d objects to paper by hand, and vice versa that i think helps the most. Anyone that can use CAD can do that! I was just saying that, for prototyping foamboard planes, it just seems like an extra step is all...

I'm with you @Hondo76251. My class at university was the last one to present all our work on true blueprints, drafted on vellum. Everyone after us was focused entirely on AutoCad and never sharpened a pencil lead in their life. Now after many years out in the world I can tell you with complete certainty that the young people sorely lack the integral drafting experience that my class had. We used to have to sharpen a pencil before drafting a line or a note on the page, so if you're looking at it, there should be a reason it's there, not just that I clicked this or didn't click that or "oh it's about layers" or some poor excuse for not knowing proper drafting techniques.
AutoCad is the premier tool for what it does, it's the great Mother program of computer drafting. It's only as smart as its user.
