I buried this in a reply to a previous thread and you might have missed it. Hereit is again. It's a very handy picture resizing tool as an add-on from MicrosoftThis link will tell you all about it. It allows you to select one or morephotos and make them smaller and better suited as attachments to lists suchas this. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin ... an2.mspxIt says it's for XP but, I don't know why it wouldn't work with Vista.--------Jim BirkeIra G.

Would you be so kind as to tell me the best way to attach the wingtips to the spars?I can see the blocks at the leading and trailing edges but, the plans area little vague about the spars. Looks like some kind of an angle.--------Thanks, Jim BirkeIra G.

Thanks for the info. A couple of questions. 1. bolt size thru the spars. 2. isthe screw thru the tip the same size as the screws thru the leading edge andare they counter-bored the same way?--------Thanks, Jim BirkeIra G.

Thanks, Michael.I'm now aware that I'll blend the Riblett airfoil construction into the specific detail called out in my plans.On a technical construction note (the egg or chicken story), how does one transition from full-size ribs to ailerons during the jig work? Make a bunch of full-size then cut them to order, or make required number of full-size, then modify the jig?And is it advisable to use 1/2" Sitka in the aileron spars or are you all using something else?With great thanks,Al ----- Original Message -----
