Pietenpol-List: metal spars/wood ribs

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Michael D Cuy
The prez of the local EAA Chapter 35 is completing a Breezy that he and another partner bought as a project. It has metal spars and wood ribs, and has turned out to be a real bear to work with because of fitting the ribs around the shape of the spar. Unless you work out a clever and easy way to secure the ribs to the spars, it can be a lot of fussy work.And Bert asks- "what's a hedral, anyway?" I'm disappointed that no one popped up with, "it's the matching half of a shedral" ;o)Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 06 Feb 2003 09:11:26 -0500
