Hey Ian, I noticed that your Rino belnded many of the short segments into one along the lower trailing edge. (pic 1)
Must be a filter setting .... I'm assuming ?

Should be more like Rich's (pic 2) or your "points".

Oh, I found a couple of DAT to DXF converter programs but they wanted money for them, imagine that. ::) :) I couldn't get them to work anyway.
Thanks

Hey Guys, check out this link,
http://openae.org/airfoil-resources/resources-uiuc-airfoil-db
down at the bottom, #3 is what I want but it's 128 meg. Too big at this speed.
#2 is the coord files, which I did gwnload.
I might go to a neighbors and dwnld #3 later this weekend.
Till then, would any of you quickies mind to fetch me the Clark "Y" and Clark "Z" DXF's ?
I'd like to see if they are exactly what I want.
Thanks if you can .... THANKS anyway !

Russ

I've re-done the dat -> dxf. Think it's how you want it now.

Also here's the clarky and clarkz from your link#3 but they're dwg's not dxf's. I tried converting them to dxf's but for some reason it's coming out crap. The dat files recode as dxf's much better than the dwg's for some reason. Anyway they're attached as well.

Cheers

Ian

EXCELLENT, Thanks Ian. Looks much better.
The .dwg's work perfectly here, using Autocad/Autodesk/Autosketch.
Just open the .dwg, save as any version DXF.
Now that you've got them, I'll just order them up as needed.
Just kidding, I really appreciate your help, I'll get them downloaded soon ... I hope.
NACA2410, 2412, 2418, and 2424 for now, if you don't mind.
Kind regards,
Russ
