It will take 40 hours for a NA to review and make the hull working.
It will take our friend at least 5 scaled model, not calculation no idea how to interprete the model.
That is the flaw in the theorie of model: the model is nothing but HOW to assess the model.
That is the trick.
For that you need knoweldge.
A kid can make a model, doesn't mean anything without a proper diagnosis
By the way, and for free, you hull is off by a long shot.
