My pencil sketches were of a 1930s-style racer, one of my favorite types of aircraft. I occasionally referred to it, but my main sources of instructions were the program help files. The programs were downloadable and there was a 275-page PDF user’s manual.
It took me some time to get the hang of using the programs but it was well worth it. The price was reasonable, so I ordered it along with a companion program: Wingmaster. A Google search unearthed a program called ModelCAD 3000 from Upperspace Software. I was familiar with AutoCAD, but I couldn’t justify the cost of such a program for designing model airplanes. After making several sketches of my proposed airplane, I looked for a CAD program that would make the design work easier and more enjoyable. I had worked in a technical trade before retirement and was reasonably computer literate. I decided to start designing my own as I had done so many years ago as a child.
