Thanks Scotty, Michael and Gary. I guess I wasn't worried about the toxicity with an open cockpit but since many didn't get back to me saying it was ok I plan to use aviation wire and connectors. I will save money using Chinese hardware. Kidding!Sent from my iPadJack TextorOn Nov 24, 2012, at 11:12 AM, Michael Perez wrote:> > The picture attached shows the wire I used.

Looking at the wing plans and getting ready to order wood for spars. Why couldn'ta guy just get alittle bigger piece and cut the top angle to fit the ribs soyou don't have to add the little angle filler pieces? Is there something I amover looking? Does no one do it because of the little more added weight of woodbetween the ribs? Or the cost of spruce for a bigger spar? Thanks for anyanswers.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Cost of wood for taller spar. The wedges are a no brainier, extremely easy to do.Wayyyyy easier than Berlinger the top of spar. No good way to get glue underrib. Gene RamboOn Nov 24, 2012, at 7:16 PM, "Dale Johnson" wrote:> > That is what Greg and I did on ours.> > Dale

Michael, they ARE needed if he doesn['t have the vertical members in the ribs to attach to the spar. You and I were smart by putting those vertical members in -- the older plans do not show the verticals. Oh! I forgot. I used the GN-1 rib plan for my ribs. That plan has the verticals at each spar location. Chuck ----- Original Message -----
