Hi
Here is the method I used,I stole ideas off some others on this list and it worked
a bloody treat.One side goes on in the jig and then the other using the same
clamps as Jack used no nails needed. Hope it helps.

Subject: | Re: takeoff performance, Walt Evans |
I wish they made them that way in North Carolina. Here our strips are
carved out of pine forests. You usually can't see the runway until you
are almost on top of it. I enjoyed giving rides at Brodhead with its
wide open approaches. In NC I won't even think of giving a ride on
anything less than a 4,000 foot runway.
It's interesting, flying in different parts of the country and seeing
what conditions you have to put up with. I learned to fly in west
Tennessee, which is sort of like the midwest with hills. Fields are
numerous, and airports tend to have good open approaches. Then I moved
to Texas and learned to fly in wind. I had a J-3 Cub and used to fly it
out of Luck Field (Duane Cole's home field), south of Fort Worth, which
had a 2,000' paved runway that was only 12' wide. When you flared that
Cub, if you could see ANY runway at all, you were off the centerline.
When I moved to North Carolina, I found that the entire state is one big
pine forest, and airports are hidden amongst the trees. Every time I
fly to Brodhead, it is like a sigh of relief when I cross the Ohio River
and enter into the midwest, where flying is easy and good forced landing
spots are numerous. Only problem there is winter is long and not
conducive to open cockpit flying.

Greg,
Wow what a beautiful strip. I wish they made them like that in
Northeast Ohio. With some of my landings I could sure use nice wide
flat runways like that!!!!

Go raid your wife's dressmaking supplies, you are looking for a "tick wheel
" its a little handle with a thin wheel on it with notches, it is used for
transferring a dress pattern to material, we use colored wax transfer paper
s between the patterns and the cloth and trace with the tick wheel, it leav
es colored dotted lines on the cloth.
Use carbon paper instead. Any fabric store should sell tick wheels for less
the $2.

I'm with Glenn, had a blast "engineering" and building a clamping jig. The ribs
are built and epoxied very easily and have been impressively consistent.
It's just one more sample......

Subject: | Re: No clamps on ribs? |
It's all really a matter of preference whether you clamp, nail, or staple
your gussets. The important thing is that youkeep the gusset in contact with
the capstrips and prevent the gusset from moving while the glue sets. If you
use clamps you can avoid the extra weight and handling of the tiny little
nails, or avoid the tedious job of pulling the staples (replaced by the
potentially tedious job of building a clamping system). In my case, I went
with a clamping system, as can be seen here:
http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/buildLogReportDetail.cfm?BuildLogID=1038&Pl
aneID=510&FName=Bill&LName=Church&PlaneName=Air%20Camper
It worked well for me, and I didn't mind designing or building it.
When gluing the gussets on the back side of my ribs, I just pulled the rib
out of the jig, flipped it over and placed the gussets in place with glue.
No clamps or nails or staples. The rib does have to lay flat for this step,
until the glue sets. But then, I kept my rib jig laying flat when gluing the
first side as well, since the epoxy does have a tendency to flow when you're
not looking.

Attached are a few photos of how I used drive chain links to replace
clevises. The chain size is a number 50. Get a length of #50 roller link
chain, 2 feet should be enough. Grind the pins off and then drive the pins
out with a punch. The inner link, with the rollers, are scrap, you just use
the outer links. Wherever you normally would use a clevis, replace with the
chain links. As you can see form the photos, you use a clevis pin and
cotter pin to hold the assembly together, with a washer under the cotter
pin. You may need to use additional washers to space things out. The clevis
pins for a #50 chain are AN393 at whatever length you need. I think most of
mine where 13's and 17's.

...and, yes, my jig is a hybrid of 70% Bill's idea, 30% original. ...or
was is 72/28? I lost track. The exchange of ideas promoted by this
forum is very enabling.
No matter how you make a rib jig, it will do a good job if YOU do a good
job. It's all about applying the right amount of care.

Subject: | My method for softening cap strip |
Attached is a pic of how I softened my cap strip. -It is a simple piece o
f 4" drain PVC, bottomed capped, filled with water. I soaked mine for about
30 min. nd put directly on my bending jig. I can do 4 at a time on my jig.
I cover the top of the tube when no cap strips are soaking to keep out saw
dust.

Chrissi,
You could use master links, but they are just a lot more expensive. If you do a
little scrounging, you can usually find some short links of chain that you can
get for free. Thats what I did. I asked the maintenance dept. at work and they
gave me a few short left over ends for free.
When grinding off the pins, just make sure you don't go too far. Just grind one
end a little and then drive it out. You don't want to nick the link and weaken
it.

Hello good people!!
You can fabricate these links on your own fairly easily from 4130. That's
what I did. Just takes a few minutes. Down side is you have to paint them.
