The reverse engineering of a Fokker G1

STEP 1 : STARTING

So, how does the proces of reverse engineering works ?

Here and on the following pages I will try to explain how do I work and why I use a 3 dimensional drafting software while teh original plane was drafted completely by hand.

As an example I use a relative simple part, from which more or less a lot of data is available. The part is the steering colomn. 

Information I obtain ofcourse from photographs !
