 Why helping to edit Plans Attributes?

Because with Attributes set the plans are much easier to find by anyone, specially those beginning to build model airplanes. It takes some experience to be able to read a plan and not everyone can see if a plan fits his needs just by looking at a thumbnail...

This will not only be a way to help beginners to find more adequate plans for their building and flying level but also to help veterans to filter CL or Free Flight Models and choose from that selection, instead of having to go page by page of all kinds of plans.

 How will it work?

Very simple, when a plan is added to the website the attributes can be set right on the Upload Plan page then, when looking for a plan just select the attribute you wish and browse the results.

 What Attributes should be edited

You should edit only the attributes that make sense, if you are editing a sailplane it's not needed to edit the motor size or the number of motors fields...

 How to know the wingspan?

When the wingspan is not declared but there is a scale that shows what should be an inch or a centimeter you can use this windows app: "A Ruller for Windows" to see how many pixels is an inch on the "Original" view and then, without changing the zoom, measure half of the wingspan in pixels, so: if 1 inch is like 50 pixels then 100 pixels is X; the wingspan should be X times 2.
