:D

It's an Isaenko circle tow hook I am modelling as an excercise. The original was drawn in Aeromodeller of Dec. 1976 on pages 726 et seq. It's available as a download here in case anyone is interested : https://rcbookcase.com/details.php?publication_id=3374

It's too big to want to post here but if you go to "https://rcbookcase.com"
then from the top menu select
Publications/European Magazines/Aeromodeller
then Sort Titles by: Pub. Date and it's on the last page, pg 23 - "Aeromodeller December 1976"

If that doesn't work for you then PM me your email address and I can send you a copy,

I have not paid a subscription and if I right-click on the magazine art on Page23 then it opens a "Save as" dialog box for me in FireFox and automatically starts the download in edge, both on W10.

Alternatively, open the page for Aeromodeller December 1976 and click the download button - there will be displayed an in-browser pop-up for subscribing but the download will also begin in the background (in Edge) or give a "Save as" dialogue (in FF) .

Hth,

I've worked alsongside many D.O.s where such a compartmentalisation of parts into files would be de rigeur and it seems a natural way to proceed to me.
One undesirable and troublesome issue I found is that the linked sketch can be edited from the Target file and I am unable to find a setting to lock it up for good. So, in order to minimize the risk of edition from the Target file, which is a threat to mess all dependent files up, I dropped the linked Sketch into a folder with a big label warning not to touch it.
