I need serious help on the par. designer.

That thing is really confusing.Can you type up a tutorial or an example on how to use it.Thanks

By the way I was wondering if I could start making modes for your site? If I could that would be great.

There are 2 approaches to Par Designer:

1.) copy and open an existing par-file, that is similar to the one you want to create. Then you can simply go to the aeroplane tab (2nd one) and change the values (explanations of the values is in the right column)

or

2.) create a new par-file from scratch, then you can use the first tab to do some basic calculations. The outcome of that calculations is taken over to the aeroplane tab and can be seen as a rough proposal to what you will have in the end.

I personally use method 1, because in most cases there does already exist a plane with (in a wide sens) similar behavior. And then I start modifing. Somtimes the modifications are that big, that in the end it has nothing to do with the original file i took...

Slipknot,

Lego's advice is really good. I tend to use method one as well and have achieved excellent results this way.
When I get time I will try to create a bit of a tutorial for Par Designer and put it on my site.

If you want to have a go at designing models, go for it! You should be able to email me your designs if you click on the email link below. I would be more than happy to make any of your designs available through my site.

You can download Metasequioa through my site or through the RC experimental Aircraft Studio site (which also has an excellent tutorial for Met' on it).

I look forward to hearing how you get on soon!
