A simple question->When you build your ribs, does the diagonal brace at the rear go from thebottom chord to the top of the rear strut (aswn in the plans and the fullsize rib sheet), or from low on the rear spar to the top rib capstrip (asshown on the Sky Scout rib plan, the BPA newletter sample, & the picture ofthe three piece wing)? I have found pictures of ribs on assorted web sitesin each position.Regards-Norm Muzzy________________________________________________________________________________

Rick,Guess it's for if the front guy fights you for the controls, and the torquetube breaks,,,OR the torque tube just breaks! It keeps the tube inallignment (kind of) and you can get the plane down.walt evansNX140DL----- Original Message -----
