Mike you can do one in a couple hours. Scroll down here http://textors.com/
PietProject.html to see mine. Instead of plywood I would use composite for l
ess warp. I bolted mine to my bench. Also drilled about a 1/2 to 3/4 hole u
nder each joint to keep the glued joint from sticking to the jig. I used 1/
2" square wood from the lumber yard for guides. In my opinion less is bette
r. Using too many makes it harder to remove from the jig. I made pretty ti
ght joints, glued with epoxy, removed and then glued the gussets. Good luck
, enjoy.

Building a rib jig will take you all of 2 hours. Better to keep it in case
you ever need to make a repair and you want the new rib to be exactly like
the old broken ones. For that reason I doubt you'll find anyone wanting to
give you one. I loaned mine to Gardner Mason after his Piet was crushed at
Sun'n'Fun under the condition that he return when he finished (which he
did).

Didn't really have a preference on airfoil. I may be misinformed, but it
seemed they were about the same in performance.
Prefer to keep, more than willing to purchase.
I live in Durant, Oklahoma. I was just looking for a quicker way to get
going...

1. Which airfoil?
2. Borrow, or keep?
3. Where do you live?
FWIW, They are not that hard to make.

I built a 2 sided jig out of 2 pieces of MDF and dadoed 2X6s. The
offset dowel circles were rotated to hold the rib pieces in place and
the clamp studs went through the jig. After the rib was aligned and
glue set, I use the other side of the jig to glue the gussets on the
other side of the rib. That way I had 2 ribs setting up at the same
time. Used small squares of waxed paper to control glue drips.

I got the second short flight in of the year for me today. Little corvair ran smooth
as usual. I ordered a skull cap spinner from Wicks last fall about the end
of October. They told me it was on back order. since they have them priced
pretty cheap I was content to wait a while. but now it's into March and still
no spinner. I know it won't change my speed and probably worthless except I think
they look cool, and it just could smooth the airflow a little into the scoops.
but it sure doesn't need to run any cooler. anyway anybody had poor luck
with Wicks or did I just order the one item they can't get? Raymond
