Can someone please confirm that two extra ribs are needed (total of 30)to build the 3-piece wing? In doing the nose and tail ribs, do yougenerally make whole ribs and cut out the middle, or just build the noseand tail sections in the jig?Richard________________________________________________________________________________

Richard, Yep, you found out like I did about those extra 2 ribs!! I thought I was done! The joint where you bolt the wing panels to the center section require a sheeted rib on the wing panel and the center section, so they'll only be separated by a couple of inches, but you need those end caps to stretch fabric to. On the partial ribs, I'm going to build the rib-let a little longer than what I need to make sure I get a good contour, but I'm not going to build entire rib and then cut them up - that's just too traumatic!Gary MeadowsSpring, TX________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: center section ribs
