Nice idea posting some of the basics like this... I am not only building the dreadedRiblett airfoil, I'm building the FATTER one, the Riblett GA-30-613.5 version(as Harry Riblett would continue to correct me as we discussed the airfoilon the phone one day...).I cut a profile of the modified airfoil with an exaggerated bend on the top andbottom of the airfoil with a CNC machine, and put some holes in it for pins tobe placed that held the bungie cord "clamps" I used. (Pictures if I get a chance...).Here's the "high-tech", harder than it has to be (but I did it anyway and that'swhy it's taking me years to build the plane") method I used for soaking thecap strips on the ribs I have so far:I built a soaking tube out of PVC pipe, capped on end, and put a slip cap on theother with a vacuum tube fitting on it. I put an "o" ring in the cap and filledthe tube 1/2 way with water. Dropped 6-8 capstrips in, sealed the tube andflipped on the vacuum pump for an hour or so. Pressure sucked the water intothe wood a bit more than just soaking, and I haven't had a strip crack yet puttingit on the bending jig.But, a bathtub, hot tub, or just soaking it overnight is easier and works as wellI think. But the steam kettle-PVC system looks cool!My .02....MarkRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: BFR review

You know Mike, you outta get the award for "best ambassador of Pietenpol's" inshort clip movies, but I am not sure the Academy grants such an award. Perhapswe can suggest one?Regardless, how nice it must be to have such a recognizable representation of aniconic plane. And, to have helped so many follow suit!MarkRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
