After re reading your original message let me be more specific.Q: Do you add this "new" rib between the existing ribs shown11"-12" apart?A: See picture in my previously attached photo and you will see a new rib addedbetween the first 11-inch rib spacing out from the center of the wing.Q: Do you add this "new" rib on the end of the existing ribs? (makingthe wing longer)A: No.Q: Do you take the original rib count and space them where needed on the newwing so that the cables and the like clear and not worry about the 11",12" or 4-1/2" spacing?A: No. You will want to slightly adjust the rib spacing else where to clearfittings and wires.Q: How many total ribs are used on each wing section with the 3 piece design?A: 30Q: I wonder why that new rib at 4-1/2" is shown...I would hate to omit aneeded reinforcement.A: This has 4-1/2" measurement has me confused me confused. I don'tsee it on the plans. Perhaps you meant the 8-1/4" measurement on thebottom of the drawing?Chris--------Chris TracySacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Valparasio, IndianaDate: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 13:07:21 -0600
