I've found a source of black ash for $1.00/BF and wondered if it's a good substitute for white ash. What I read is that it's slightly softer and lighter. I plan on making ash flying struts and landing gear.Any thoughts or experience with black ash?Tom B.________________________________________________________________________________

Tom I have been flying with LG struts of laminated Douglas Fir for 5 years without problems. I know others that have used Sitka to make gear legs. You are probably fine.Come up to Osceola some day for a ride.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Gents:Does anyone have Roman Bukolt's email address?I purchased the Riblett airfoil drawing from Roman a few years ago. I'm just now setting up a jig to start building my ribs. I'm a little unsure on a couple of points on building these ribs, and I need a little help.Thanks Fellows,Al LyscarsManchester, NH________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:15:16 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Riblett Airfoil

Hi Ryan,I've got a set of Grega GN-1 plans which I'm going to build from, and I bought Roman's template a few years ago.- My GA30-612 Riblett drawing doesn't list much detail. For example, there are no notes concerning the number of ribs to build. Should I rely on my Grega drawings for this info?- The Grega plans specify compression members in at least two of the ribs; are there any compression members in the Riblett?- I am very unsure as to how to construct the trailing edge spar sections as far as the aileron sections go. Am I missing a "notes page" which may have been part of Roman's submittal? I've moved between then and now..anything's possible!Ryan, thanks for offering to help.Al Lyscars ----- Original Message -----
