I made 30 ribs and ended up with one left over. It is now a conversation piecein my office.The only ribs with the extra bracing are the two outer tip ribs.Greg CardinalP.S. Walt Evans has nice pictures of his plane in the latest issue of "To Fly" ----- Original Message -----

The 31st one is for hanging on the wall in your den/office. It truly is a work of art, and makes agreat conversation piece.Max DavisArlington, TX.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: The second easiest rib questionSo you have 28 full ribs in your wing, that is the same number as the one piece wing. You have 2 full ribs in your center section, and 13 ribs in the leftand right wings correct?I've only got 28, but have two half-ribs, due to putting a tank in thecentre section, so 30 sounds right.________________________________________________________________________________
