yes, they can be removed if I use the front cockpit for gear.

| Subject: | Bending rib capstrips -- Again! |
Guys,
I'm doing research on potentially building an Aircamper with the original wing.
The Piet Aircraft Company, on their website, states that no steaming (and I
assume that implies or soaking) is required to build a wing rib. However, an
internet search seems to indicate that everyone, or at least almost everyone,
either steams or soaks the top rib capstrip. As a noob who knows nothing about
wood construction (I built an RV-10), is this a classic case of "theory" vs
practical reality? By that I mean that while it's possible to place the top
capstrip in the rib jig without it breaking that more often than not it will so
best practice is if you don't want to keep buying capstrip material is to either
stream or soak them and place into a separate bending jig before moving to
the rib jig? My apologies if this has been asked a 1000 times before.

Earl; my front cockpit shoulder harness and lap belt are also removable, via clip-on
attachments. The belt and harness are military surplus. I keep them removed
unless I'm going to be taking a passenger, because otherwise the belt gets
in the way of my feet (rudder and brakes). Good idea.

Boiling capstrip material for twenty minutes makes strips bend like wet spaghetti.
Clamped between a wooden form for a couple of days to dry gives a no stress
top rib . The form is easily made on a bandsaw from a piece of 4x6 scrap. Cut
the shape of the rib from front spar forward and you have it.

Thanks for the info. However I'm less interested in the "how" as there's lots
of info on that. My question is more basic: Is pre-bending of the top capstrips
necessary?

Todd,
Yes pre-bending is necessary. I tried both ways on my Piet ribs and if you don't
soak or steam the cap-strips they will snap.

Thanks Brian! That's question #2 off my list answered - only about a thousand
more to go and I might be ready to buy the plans!
