I've got 2 rods I want to wrap tomorrow but I do not have VW installed on my computers. All I need is for someone to get me the spacings for teh following 2 rods and post it for me. Yes, I can use the "old" way and figure it out, but it's just so easy to do with VW.

Rod #1 - GUSA 664DHX extended to 6'10
Butt diameter: 11
Tip diameter: 10
Length 175-200mm (this shoould be 4 or 5 repeats of teh pattern)

Rod #2 - Lami XC78H extended to 6'10
Butt: 11.25
Tip: 10.25
Length - 175-200

Just list the cumulative for the 0 & 180 axis, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Billy,


If I correctly followed the directions you sent me this is what
I get:

Butt = 11
Tip = 10
+6 = 197.92

Butt = 11.5
Tip = 10.25
+5 = 170.82
+6 = 204.99

I hope I got this right!

You should get those handouts published. Why not RodMaker?

Ron

Dave - thanks.

Ron, I needed the Spacings, not the entire length of the wrap. I do appreciate you help though, thank you.

Regarding the write-ups - If I was asked to submit them for review in Rodmaker, I would do so. I hope you can use it to assist you in your teaching.
