Hello Group,
Hopefully everyone had great christmas! My question is on the rib costruction.
I've got my first rib almost done however my question is on the gusset plate
that sits on the sides of the rib in front. does 2 1/8" x 3/4: sound right? then
what about this 1/2x1/2" block that the plans talk about does that somehow
get nothced out and gets glued in? If anyone wants see pictures I can post some.
Thanks,
Ben Ramler

Ben,
Not sure which print that you are working from, but the 1/2x1/2 block
connects the top and bottom cap pieces, angled to fit without gaps, and the
front edge of the 1/2x1/2 piece is even with the front of the gussets.
Mentally remove the rounded leading edge for a moment,,,everything from
there back is a solid surface to attach leading edge to later.
After you clean up excess glue, and sand the front of the rib, you should be
able to point the rib at you like looking at a fishes mouth, and see a solid
closed in end.
You can see in the pic of my ribs #058, not completely cleaned up, but you
can see that the ends are solid, the 1/2x1/2 pieces are in there flush with
the front of the gussets.
Now in #055 , if you attach the leading edge with the screws and nut like in
the plans, the heads will be countersunk in the leading edge, and the nuts
will be in that recessed area down between the gussets going thru the
1/2x1/2 thats sandwiched between the gussets. (look in the 2nd rib from
closest in #055)
Hope this makes sense

Ben,
I'm still making ribs myself and spent today making sure that I at least finished
the first half of them in 2006. I'm at the half-way mark now. I made rib
#17 to be glued tomorrow so I can start the year on the right note. I saw your
post and took some pictures while I was building and put them on my website
if you're interested. I'm no pro but my EAA tech counselor said he'd "give me
an A+" on my first interim review. Those are the only credentials I can provide
