Apparently Jimmie got some plans for making the ribs but that would have required me to order the fiberglas vertical trailing edge, so I scaled everything down a bit and built my own ribs, using an aluminum trailing edge that I had formed locally. When I got it, Jimmie had already installed the intercostals in the horizontal stab. I've still got some parts left over..... : ) Lynn Matteson Kitfox IV Speedster, taildragger Jabiru 2200, #2062 Prince prop 64 x 30, P-tip Electroair direct-fire ignition system Rotec TBI-40 injection (sleeved to 36mm) Status: flying with "Ramcharger" intake manifold...1152 hrs (since 3-27-2006) do not archive On Aug 2, 2011, at 10:48 PM, Tom Jones wrote: > > >> What parts are those, Tom?
