Pietenpol-List: Wing rib jigs

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: TBYH(at)aol.com
The recent interest in rib jigs, staples vs nails, etc.has prompted me to posta picture of a rib jig I made while building an Airbike wing. I didnt use nailsor staples. Instead, I held everything in place with toggle clamps. What I likeabout this method is that you can put the gussets on both sides at the sametime...Cuts glue-drying time in half. The price you pay is that the gussetsneed to be cut very uniformly, which you can do by stacking the layers of plyand using a metal template on the top of the stack.
