Once I had made all my ribs, I slipped them on a couple of pieces af scrapspar material and gang sanded them, first on a belt sander, and then finishsanded them with a long sanding block until they were all identical. Took atotal of less than an hour.Jack -----Original Message-----Air foils are fairly forgiving for small errors. The important thing is thefastening to the spar is good and every rib have the same smooth profile.The you get a good structure and a smooth consistent airfoil. Some go sofar as to make a router jig so that every rib is machined to be identical.Cy Galley, TC - Chair, Emergency Aircraft Repair, Oshkosh________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 12 May 2002 17:18:58 -0700
