erdnarob 1 #2 September 29, 2008 Have a look on Kinesthesia video from Guy Manos. It is old but still OK. If you really want to know the real stuff contact Jean Potvin and Gary Peek at university of St Louis Missouri. Both are working together on low speed aerodynamics projetcs.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
