Thanks.  I primarily use Rhino for POV-Ray scenes.  Its a great modeler and
exporting is easy.  I have this scan on a CD volume of Rutan plans and I'm
hoping to produce a similar scene.  Right now I'm working on duplicating
this scene (but with the long-ez instead of a defiant):

picture framed in the hangar.

I don't believe that my dad's plane is a newer version.  He
finished it in 1985.  It does vary from the original plans in that it uses
an inset air scoop.  My dad also didn't put wheel pants on the tires because
he said that they would get in the way of operating on a grass air strip.
