Hi Steve :Sorry I didnt get back, been really busy.I'll try to post some more pics soon. My rib jig is really ragged out.After 28 ribs the jig blocks are just really loose and rounded. Also thepaper pattern I stapled to it has gotten torn off in several places. Sinceits a good Idea to keep the jig handy (for repairs etc) I would suggest youbuild one and not use anyone else's. Shouldn't take more than 4 to 6 hourstotal to build one. AND ITS Yours!My gear are just by the plans. I would suggest using springs instead ofbungees though. The wheels and tires I have are actually from a J-3 cub.Dont use those. Get a set of 8:00 x 6:00 tires and order a set of 6:00brakes/wheels. Can get them form AS&S or Wicks. You;ll be glad you wentther instead of the old Cub stuff.I've seen your posts a LOT. Have you started construction yet??? How faralong are you???I'm not seein many Piet posts any more. Are ya'll still out there??Well, gotta go back to the shop. Just on break right now.See Ya. Bert----- Original Message -----
