Putting FJ-4-36 in public domain
« on: January 17, 2013, 07:44:00 AM »
I have decided to put my FJ-4-36 Furry Profile Carrier into public domain and release the CAD files to the public. Rather than taking up Sparkies bandwidth I uploaded the files to my web site. FJ4_36.dwg is the full plans file, FJ4_36Laser.dwg is the laser cut file for all the parts. Files were last saved with AutoCAD 2004. You should be able to send the Laser file to your favorate laser cutter and he should be able to import the parts into whatever software he is using on his laser.

FJ4_15Build.pdf are the instructions I wrote for building the 15 version. They are basically the same.and will show how it goes together. The PDF file is fairly large as it contains allot of photos.

Well the first two files will not come up for my windows program.   The third file will come up, but I can't do a save on it.   Would like to download to a CD so I can look at it any time n my lap top.   Will not let me do it.    I would be willing to pay for a CD of all the files that could be used on my lap top if possible.   CD's take up so much less space than paper.  So is this possible or too much of a hassle?

You need a CAD program, or one of the better graphics programs to open the DWG files. Opened fine on DraftSight.
The PDF is ... big.
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

Opened just fine for me in DRAFTSIGHT.  I saved it as a .dxf so my usual program can work with it.

Doc, Right click on the link and chose Save Target As. It will save the PDF file to your hard drive which you can then burn to a CD or copy to a USB Thumb drive to open on your laptop.

As someone already said the first two files are CAD files and you need a CAD program to open them.

Bumping this thread because I was asked about this airplane while at Brodak's and realized the files referred to in the links were somehow deleted from our server. I have re-uploaded the files and now the links in the first post should work.

Guess I will contact Eric at RSM Mfg to see if he still has the cut files.   Thanks Bob for the design as I like the looks of it in the air.
