I only see my own comments on there no beginnings of somebody starting the design yet.

I hope you guys all forgive me but I won't make the first steps and write up all I know. You guys start and I'll jump in later. The beginning is least interested for me personally as I covered the basics already several years ago. Alot is already to be found in my posts on this forum. So you guys start and work up a basic understanding of the principles so my comments will be picked up easier by you then.

Here you have a new website link :

There is some basics about apparent winds etc there that we all need to understand. There are errors in some of the plots and conclusions but it will do for now. Hell, find the errors and fix them and then you be a long towards to more techy and interesting stuff.
