Jef Raskin Papers?

[Sandie]

Hello,

I'm doing some propeller modelling and am interested in investigating how well flat-plate, curved-plated, and fully-profiled blades perform. A few people on the forums have mentioned an article by Jef Raskin, on this area.

The name of the paper is: Jef Raskin - A Good Airfoil for Small RC Models

and it used to be found at
www.jef.raskincenter.org/published/airfoil.html

but the link now doesn't work and I can't find the paper anywhere else. Does anyone know where I could find it, or have a copy?

Thanks,
Sandie

Sandie,
Yes the site vanished recently. Jeff passed away a few years ago so I dare say the site hosting fees had not been maintained.

Fortunately Way Back Machine web archive has what appears to be the whole of his site: http://web.archive.org/web/20070720100559/http://jef.raskincenter.org/published/airfoil.html
