Sir, (I wish I knew your name) Here is a picture of my panel with my Ebay
purchased instruments. The altimeter is non-sensitive but works great, and
will work accurately also on those high altitude flights to 15-20,000 msl.

Dan,
Very nice! Are they reproductions or originals? If they're originals, do you
know what sort of plane they came out of?

Jeff,
I don't know what airplane those instruments are out of. They are not
repros. The alt. and tach are 4" dia. Those are quite old. I am going to have to
get a special tach cable made by a speedo shop. The clock is significant to me
because it is an Elgin, and I lived in Elgin IL for 17 years where the old
factory was. The mag switch is 2 1/8" dia. and very cool looking I think.
For anybody interested I have a very cool old brass venturi that I am not
going to use. Contact me off-list and I can send pics.

I have a set of orig plans. They come with a partially built project. It
includes: Fuselage in boat stage, all tail feathers built, Ribs built,
Center section started with spars and steel fittings. Most (some)
fittings are done. The landing gear, tail wheel fitting and torque tube
are roughed out. Rib jig, etc. $800 in Georgia.

Subject: | Rib length question |
I tried to send this via email, but I don't think it went through. If it did, sorry
for the duplicate posting.
I'm in the process of lofting the rib coordinates onto my jig. The total length
of the rib is supposed to be 60" long. If you add up the measurements for the
stations going fore to aft (i.e. 1/2", 1", 1", 1", etc) you end up with a total
length of 60.125. I have seen mention of an error in a vertical measurement,
but I have yet to find anything about a discrepancy in the length. I understand
it's only 1/8", but generally what has everyone done about this. Just build
it an 1/8" longer; subtract the 1/8" off the trailing edge? Is there a horizontal
dimension that is known to be incorrect?

Ryan,
Don't sweat it too much, just make sure the distance between the spars is
correct.
The chord length on NX18235 is off by more than 1/8" and it flies just fine.

Ryan,
Somehow, and I think it has to do with wider leading and trailing edges, my chord
length came to around 60.5" to 60.625". I don't think my Piet knows the difference.
I really wouldn't worry about it either. However, like Greg says keep
the distance between the spars uniform and correct. It would be very discouraging
to finish the center section and wing panels and find that they don't
meet up together.

Sounds good. I'll plot with the given dimensions and not worry about a little extra.
Thanks Greg and Don.
