Yeah, I've got to do something there. I just haven'tfigured out what yet. This is a big part of that 90%done and 90% to go thing, isn't it! Of course Ididn't notice anything awry until I'd finished. Right!! :-)Clif Hi Cliff I looked at your pics and noticed that you dont have any guards against the bolts. You might want to get a piece of leather or PVC to wrap around the bottoms to protect the bungee from wearing out.

Finished my ribs early this morning. Not a big deal but I had to tell somebody! I actually enjoyed making every rib and reminding myself to "build to build,not to fly". I believe my rib jig is now retired. On to the brackets forthe center section.--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/prog ... __________

Good on you, John! Save your rib jig - if you ever need to make areplacement rib you'll be glad you did, and otherwise it makes a nicereminder of times when the project was simple and straightforward.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC-----Original Message-----

The jig worked fine but when cutting the first couple of ribs I didn't have thesmall backing block behind the top capstick and had some blowout. I know itwill be covered with plywood eventually but just wasn't acceptable.John--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Room For Bungee Cord
