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 St. Cloud, MN __________________________________________________ ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:46:06 PM PST US From: "walt evans" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: rib construction 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 walt evans NX140DL "Put your wealth in knowledge, and no one can ever take it from you" Ben Franklin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Ramler" Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 2:59 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: rib construction > > > Hello Group, > > Hopefully everyone had great christmas!

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 [Laughing] -------- Glenn Thomas N????? http://www.flyingwood.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=84744#84744 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
