Subject: Pietenpol-List: End ribs.Walter Evans wrote that he use end ribs (extra sticks) at wing root andcenter section. I am doing the same thing. I was wondering if it wouldbe wise to cover the outside of these end ribs with 1/16 ply for ease offabric attachment.

yes, it wouldn't hurt, however, I glued mine on the underside of thecapstrip so they wouldn't be seen. I have a one piece wing so I terminatedthe fabric down inside the wing cavity for the gastank.....some guys cut a1/32 or 1/64" plywood cover to cover the root rib as a "cap". This cover ishow the fabric gets "terminated" so to speak.........Earl Myers-----Original Message-----
