Do this at the wing tip too for the first rib or two.It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a few spruce diagonals to keep thoseend ribs from 'bowing' in when you heat taughten the fabric. Makes em' stayaligned straight. For you guys wondering about the 'inter-rib lacing' tokeepALL of the ribs upright, there is an optional way to do this: Run 1/4" x 3/8"spruce/fir, etc. strips the whole length of the wing panels glued to each ribdown the center. One strip at the bottom of each rib and one strip at thetop. This took only about 15 min. per wing to do with clothes pins as clampsand T-88 glue.

Don... thanks for the reassurance.

Nothing drastic,but sometimes I forget how I arrived at those decisions... all of it was recommendedby those of you that have DONE IT!

NOW SHOULD A FEW CROSS BRACES SUFFICE OR SHOULD I RUN 1/16 BIRCH TO THE NEXT RIB INTHE ATTEMPT TO HAVE A RIGID STRUCTURE TO KEEP THE FABRICFROM BUCKING THE ROOT RIB? Kyle- You betcha. Do this at the wing tip too for thefirst rib or two.It doesn't have to be anything fancy, justa few spruce diagonals to keep thoseend ribs from 'bowing' in when you heat taughten the fabric. Makesem' stayaligned straight. For you guys wondering about the'inter-rib lacing' to keepALL of the ribs upright, there is an optional way to do this: Run1/4 x 3/8spruce/fir, etc. strips the whole length of the wing panels glued to eachribdown the center. One strip at the bottom of each rib and one stripat thetop. This took only about 15 min. per wing to do with clothes pinsas clampsand T-88 glue.
