Question RV Sketchup Component?

Hello,
I'm working with Google's Sketchup to draw a new hangar project for our builder's club and I'm at the point where I'd like to figure out how many planes can fit comfortably in the space we'll have.
There will be at least 3 RVs in it: two -9As and a -6, plus maybe one -12.

I was wondering if someone has already modeled theri RV aircraft and would be willing to share their component so I can use it as a base to derive the various models I need.
I've searched the Google 3D warehouse without success.
Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,

You can download 2D drawings of all the RV models from the Van's website.
See here: http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/d...3_VIEW_ALL.zip
It is in DWG format, which Google say SketchUp can Import.

Unfortunately, this is only available with the Pro version of Sketchup

Default Hangar Capacity

I have six RV's in a 60' x 72' foot hangar. That allows room for a rest room and 3- 4' x 8 ' work benches. Tail draggers are easy to move about: nose draggers are tougher to manuever.

2-RV-8
1-6A
1-6
2-7A
