    I created an Excell spreadsheet to calculate the front sizes, angles and offsets for the angle fuse parts. I have one for straight ones and one for offsets. It was that sheet that gave me the numbers to paste into the XML file. @FennVectorCWA

    It required allot of maths to get the lengths and angles right, but it was worth it. I also like the cockpit view you get from this as well. @FennVectorCWA

    Thanks. After I made the cockpit, I saved it as an assembly so I can use it again. @FennVectorCWA
