Glauco,

You will need to divide all of the numbers by 100 and arrange them from TE (1.0000, 0.0000), over the top (positive numbers) to the LE (0.0000, 0.0000), then under the bottom (negative numbers) back to the TE.

Obviously, the regional settings will be very important. The site you picked has the "," as a decimal separator. Make sure your software is either region aware, or you use the correct separator.

I believe I have all of the .dat files at home. I will send you one later, if it was in the airfoil pack from TraCFoil.

Subject: [RCSE] Help Plotting Airfoil


Guys,

I put some wrinkles on my airplane wing and need to check the airfoil
before starting the sanding block work.

The airfoil is an HQ/W - 3,5/8 and the coordinates can be found here

http://www.hq-modellflug.de/koordinatenframe.htm

I want to plot the airfoil on Compufoil or TraCFoil but don't know how
to turn those coordinates into something readable by the softwares.
I know how to make .dat files but the coordinates are not the usual
1.0000  0.0000XX.

Thanks,

Glauco
