Mike,Slip all the ribs on; position them just to the side of where they will be.- Apply your epoxy to the spar, and then slide the rib into position and clamp.- I glued mine, some just nail theirs.Jackwww.textors.com-________________________________________________________________________________

Pietenpol-List: Spar cuts for dihedral
Original Posted By: Michael Perez
NX41CC is rigged with 3" of dihedral, measured from wing root to last rib outboardon the wing. Computationally, I guess it works out to about 1.02 degrees.As far as I know, there is no angle cut of the centersection spar... there isenough flex of the wing to allow 3" deflection at the wingtip with the sparbutts cut square. The wing attach fittings are bolted up and then the threadedfork at the bottom of the lift struts is adjusted until the desired dihedralis obtained at the wingtip.I believe the Pietenpol manual mentions something along these lines or perhapsa bit less (1"?), but no angle cuts of the spar butts that I can recollect.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:40:49 -0800 (PST)
