I have seen a couple of posts about incorrect dimensions etc..I'm in the process of enlarging the wing rib drawing via CAD. I havenoticed the discrepancies, but they don't bother me, as I think the capstrips will find their own 'true' way. What does interest me is theprecise location of the ends of the diagonal braces - are these critical?Should I scale them off the drawing?Does anyone have details and/or offset dimensions of the leading edgeupright? and the trailing edge?When I'm done, I'll be happy to make these drawings available to anyone whocan convince me that they've bought a set of plans - hopefully we caneventually build up a library of CAD details.LeoNottinghamshireEnglandleo(at)deadly.demon.co.uk________________________________________________________________________________

I've also started laying the fuselage and wing rib out on Autocad. I don'thave the dimensions you're looking for, but if I can be of any help, let meknow. I work with Autocad all day every day, and maybe you do as well. Iagree with your statement about the capstrip finding it's true shape, but myonly question is which dimensions will it follow. I don't don't know ifthat question makes sense without a long explanation, but let me know whatyou think.Tom Brant-----Original Message-----

Grover,-Did you mistakenly send that message to the Piet List?I opened the CAD drawings you attached, and they do not appear to have any connection to the Piet.--________________________________________________________________________________
