Fun times with Openscad Designing my own wings...

Finfoil.io is great, needs pay credits to get the super high quality though, Winghopper is currently free and is supposed to take NACA files but I couldn't get it to load an mh23.txt file and gave up on it for now, so I went back to the drawing board and did some openscad coding and now I can do fun things like this:

I'm not set up to take NACA files in it at the moment but I can still tweak up a wing profile just how i want it and then do mods 8)

Wing looks great! Love to see it. WingHopper can take normal foil section .DAT files if you just chaange the .DAT extension to a .TXT. Post the file if you're having any more problems and I'll take a look.
