Hi,

I just download XFLR5 and this nice piece of SW, but I can´t figure out why I can´t get my airfoil plotted correctly.

here is the dat I am using:

I get a line running through the middles of the airfoil that prevents me from refining the airfoil and run test on the airfoil.

I have look at many option on the points, but I can´t figure out where that dat of the line drawn form 0,0 to 1.0,-0.26 comes from??
This is the case for any airfoil that is NACA...

Regards,
