I just got the word from the motorcycle guy.He says that my hubs, spoke holes drilled stright thru,, (but offset between flanges) can only be laced as double cross pattern.Question, Is a double cross pattern strong enough for a/c use using 9, or 8 gauge spokes ?Bob________________________________________________________________________________

This is the way I did it on my plane too. I would only add that if I wereto do it again, I would add a bridge strip between the root rib and the onenext to it. My fabric over the past two years has pulled the rib toward thetip slightly causing a slight pucker. Adding a spar cap would prevent this.Stevee-----Original Message-----
