Reworking airplane web page

After getting my plans and charts digitized, I reworked the whole of my N19WT web site to accomplish:

• consistent web directory structure - using a Macintosh master to make a tar file with a public available copy
• iPad sync - photos are shared using iTunes as 'albums' needed to find relevant materials
• structuring major mods - engine replacement, landing gear, and cabin

It is a 'work in progress' but it is moving from a 'log', a chronology of events, to something specific to each major tasks. One major accomplishment is replacing the digitized, chart, loaded into PowerPoint with a traced, PowerPoint vectors. True to scale, the size of the PowerPoint chart shrunk by about a factor of five.

Also, I'm creating the first electronic table of contents with the 'errata' text for the drawings. Going from paper-to-electronic works. Now if I can just find:

• OCR program that takes jpg and generates text - getting the manual from image to text will make a substantial reduction in volume but also allow the 'errata' to be incorporated in the text instead of the table of contents.
• Reasonable 3D drawing package - something that allows making 3D parts by tracing the 2D image and quickly sweeping in the Z-axis to make the 3D part. We talking MacDraw easy to use but with a sensible 3D expansion. This will make doing proper stress analysis as well as adding the 'errata' to the drawings.
