Nice plane but the posted drawings are not going to be accessible to the vast majority of us in the FT community that do not have CAD software. Would you please save them as PDF and re-post? Thanks

I'm with Geezer Fly this is a nice plane and I would like to build it as I have several wings flying. But like most I do not have a good cad program. It can be imported to 123d design but it will not export the file to one that can be used. Like most of us the have a cutter or built one may use inkscape to set up the cuts. Please redo the files to pdf for this program to use.
