Subject: HELP on Rowlands FlowForm

Hi!

I have now again questions on Rowlands flowform (Flowform JUNIOR):

The lenght of airfoil basis is given with 84cm (length which is sewn to 
front). The length of the frontpart is given with 94cm. 
-->> DOES NOT MATCH

Now, what is wrong?????

Back-fabric is fitting to the given airfoil (105cm)
Flares are fitting to the front length (94cm).

1? AIRFOIL WRONG ->> meens scaling up the back fabrics and airfoil.
2? FRONT WRONG   ->> meens scaling down length of front and flares.

I have the feeling that the 2nd solution is better, but what to do with 
the flares now????????

--Keep the sides at 52cm and 90cm and scaling down the side sewn to the
  front to 84cm????

--Scale down all sides same ratio to get 84cm frontlength ?????

Maybe a general question arises here!!!

How to dimension flares on a flowform or parafoil?????

Thanks

Guenther

P.S. Thanks for help on airfoil smoothing!!!
