Simplex 'foil - was "dang it"

Yeah, that "simplex" software calculates and prints any percent chord
you ask for about 10" long on a sheet of paper that you can make any
length rib outline out of. FWIW, I glue the print to a piece of "2 x 2"
and cut the outline with the bandsaw, then use that to make a lamina of
like 2 sheets of 1/32 balsa and strip the ribs from that. I've used
anything from a 3% to a 12% on my Dennydart MKIV's.

BTW, never did get an answer as to the comparison between an "arc" and a
"simplex" :-(
