Thank you for the nice feedback! I don't have Onshape, therefore I'm afraid I can't help you out here.

@@winghelper any cad software will do eg fusion 360 or solid works... The process is the same

@@andrewklug4845 OK, glad you have resolved it!

@@winghelper did not resolve it just saying you could demonstrate on any cad platform as it would be broadly applicable.

@@andrewklug4845 oh, sorry - misunderstanding! Please check the main Wing Helper Videotutorial - I can't post a link here it seems, but you can reach it through the Wing Helper web page, under "Documentation" (DXF Export). It's described in the last section of the video.

Hi, yes there is a way to do it - through OpenSCAD format. Please check the full Wing Helper tutorial, Section "Export and Printing". Unfortunately, YT won't let me post direct links, but you can find the link from the official Wing Helper web page.

Thank you! :)

Hello, please go to www.winghelper.com/ for all additional information, including how to purchase and register Wing Helper.

Hello Yusuf, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Can you please contact me at support@winghelper.com with some details, maybe also with a WHF file showing the issue? Mail offers a wider range of discussion options than this YT comment section.

@@winghelper ok.i actually want to creat a swept wing without appearing as a perspective. I didn't choose the option of perspective in the option but the wing still comes out as perspective.

It's one time payment - for life.

Hallo, ja, die sind auch möglich - gezeigt im Abschnitt "01:09:05 Flügelform"

@@winghelper Herzlichen Dank

Thank you Wayne - I'm happy to hear you like Wing Helper!

Would you be willing to help me out to develop a wing? I have followed the original wing tutorial and developed my wing design. Honestly, not sure how to proceed from here. I imported the WingHelper DFX into Fusion 360 and am kind of at a stand still.

@@kerrycorcoran4885 I'm not sure whom you were asking, me or Wayne. If you were asking me: I'm a good developer, but not much of a model builder. :) Still, if you have concrete questions, let me know, and maybe I can help! Basically, in Fusion you want to prepare your ribs for cutting (laying out, maybe doing some manual modifications if necessary), then print them as templates, use these templates to cut out the ribs from Balsa, and glue them all together. If you have never done it before, I suggest you look for videos on CZcams, to learn about different glues, how to cut balsa (grain orientation!), how to lay out all the wing elements on the plan and how to put it all together. There are really nice videos available - I suggest for example "Joyplanes RC", he has some great videos showing how he builds the wings. There is also, thanks to Wayne, a new unofficial discussion forum for Wing Helper, you can find it here: forum.alofthobbies.com/index.php?forums/wing-helper-support-forum.29/

It's USD 70 now - the dollar went up compared to my base currency (Euro), so that's how it works out. ;)

Hallo, danke für die schöne und positive Rückmeldung! ICE Export war der erste Versuch, 4-Achsen Drahtschneider anzusteuern. Der NGC Export ist da deutlich weiter und fortgeschrittener - und lt. Herr Letmathe, mit dem ich in Kontakt gestanden bin, hat ICE inzwischen auch die Möglichkeit bekommen, NGC Dateien zu lesen. Die Option, NGC Dateien zu exportieren, finden Sie unter Datei->Export. Ich glaube, dass das Dialog ziemlich selbsterklärend ist - wenn Sie Fragen haben, kontaktieren Sie mich bitte unter support@winghelper.com. Hier können Sie auch noch einen simulierten Lauf sehen (LinuxCNC): czcams.com/video/1WFfAexN8Ug/video.html

Hello Andrei, I'm happy to hear that you like Wing Helper! I wish you many successful designs and nicely flying planes! :) Best regards, Alex Pozgaj

Der Platzhirsch ist wohl "xflr5" - gibt's frei zum herunterladen. Eine Schnittstelle für Wing Helper ist in Planung (Wing Helper -> XFLR5), konnte ich aber noch nicht umsetzen.

Hallo - die sind in der Standard Wing Helper Bibliothek nicht drinnen - man kann sie aber sehr einfach selber definieren. Wenn Du Hilfe damit brauchst, schau' Dir mal den Abschnitt "Profilmanagement" an. In der PDF Doku steht dann auch beschrieben, wie man die eigenen Profile manuell per Koordinateneingabe definieren kann.

@@alex.pozgaj Danke.

Danke Ben! 😁

Hello John, thank you for the kind words, I am very happy to hear that you like Wing Helper! :) I'm still working on the Video Tutorial for 1.5.0 (trying to reduce it in the length, without much success :) ), but this one (1.4.0) is also showing the most important things to know about the program.

Hello, sorry for the late reply, I missed this message. Automatic lay outing is unfortunately not on the roadmap - it's a rather complex topic where a human eye will always achieve better results than what a computer can.

@@winghelper I’m fascinated again in the field of fixed wings again and this is the best software I found. So wonderful.. Thank you for the developers! By the way, please keep supporting MacOS version !

Hallo, danke für den Lob! :) Ich glaube nicht, dass man Bootsspanten mit dem Wing Helper (so wie er jetzt ist) erstellen kann. Ich schätze, dazu benötigt man eher die Funktion "Rumpf definieren". Die Entwicklung dieser Funktion fängt nächstes Jahr an, gleich nachdem die 1.5.0 freigegeben ist.

Cool ! Danke

Hello! You can enter all machine-related parameters, such as the wire length you mention, directly in the program ICE. That was one of the reasons why we chose ICE for the first step in the direction of G-Code export: it brings a lot of functionality with it, which otherwise would need to be implemented directly in the Wing Helper. In the next version, we are looking into extending the support for G-Code export and also to introduce support for specifying machine-related parameter.

Update to my previous reply (posted as Alex Pozgaj): I know that the author of ICE is also working on the import function to support the Wing Helper generated NC code directly, so the integration will become even better in future.

Ben Matu vielen Dank! :)
