I've been looking around for a fairly simple model as a learning vehicle for a natural aluminum finish model. After more than a few false starts I decided that a simple home built aircraft would be the best way forward. I settled on John Monnett's Sonex. Strange enough I couldn't find anything better than a crude three view on the vendor's site. What convinced me to move forward on the project was the rich builder blog resource on the web. Importing part photographs into Rhino using the PictureFrame command allows dimensioning through quick line traces followed by scaling the proportional part into the drawing (it's all about perspective here). It's much easier than I thought it would be but it did take some time to refine the method.

The following drawing required only two evenings of work to obtain the level shown below.
