This is a tutorial for how get to the point of making a rib template by starting with some airfoil coordinates.
The process we'll cover here includes:
* Obtain the airfoil points.
* Import the coordinates into a CAD program.
* Offset the airfoil shape if needed (for skins and flanges) for template
* Put the shape into a Technical Drawing
* Print the drawing
* Make sure the printed scale is correct, re-scale if needed.
To do all of this we will make user of the XFLR5 and FreeCAD programs.
