Personally, I'd use the top ones and cull the bottom one based on the photo. Hopefully the A&Ps and IAs will weigh in.--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Kim,I would cull them ALL out, send them to Jack Textor, Des Moines and I willuse them for kindling. Seriously, the ribs are twice the size they need tobe, Use the ones you are concerned with in the webbing, to stir epoxy orwhatever. Enjoy the build!JackDSM-----Original Message-----

The top three are OK Kim. The bottom one I wouldn'tuse for anything longer than the runout. So four, maybefive inches would be OK since a couple of inches willbe under the gussets. Also, you want the straightestgrain for the top capstrip as there's quite a bit of bendingstress, especially near the nose.I know what you mean about not getting to fly. After doingmine through Air Cadets in '60 there wasn't the moneyto fly and educate so 50 years later I are again a pilot. It'staken a lot more time to solo at 67 than it did at 17!!!Especialy in a 100hp Citabria. Although to be fair, firsttime around it was a Fleet 80 Canuck. Fully aerobatic,cruise at 90, vne 160! I'm still surprised I actually made itpast my 18th birthday! I did manage to exceed 160 in CF-DQR,but that's another story. :-)http://pcmuseum.tripod.com/dc3/canuckother.htmClif Some of my capstris have up to 1:6 grain runout. Are the ribs stout enough I can use this up in the webbing or do I need to cull this out?
