After piddling around with it foe a few weeks, I finally have my rib jig the wayI want it. I'm in the process of cutting enough pieces so that I can assembleall the ribs in an assembly line fashion. It's amazing how many gussets youneed for a complete set of ribs.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rib_ ... __________

First, nice work and congratulations!Looks like you found the causal factor for why Dale suffered a forced landing.Any evidence of an exhaust or intake leak on that cylinder?Curious if you had to make some modifications to the structure for an airworthinesscert in VK land?

Peter,Nice work! You'll be back in the air in no time...Of your many nice photos, your toe brakes caught my eye, and I wonder if you haveany sketches or a side shot showing some additional detail, as I have identicalbrake cylinders that I picked up at AeroMart last year, and I was about todiscard them for something else until I saw your setup. Very nice indeed!Any help would be appreciated.--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: My progress - 1st baby step

Thanks for everybody's feedback and support so far. I have a couple of responses:I ordered the full size rib drawing from Bill Rewey3339 Moundview RdVerona, WI 53593608 833 5839I sent him $25 and he sent the plan plus a nice packet of many other helpful hintsand drawings. I highly recommend him. The plastic film is just the normal visqueen from Home Depot. I tried my first"glue up" last night, and the finished structure just popped off the jig beautifully.I'm using paper lunch bags for my bins. Keeping it simple.

You used paper bags -- I used large plastic drinking cups. C----- Original Message -----
