I'm building an 8, been working on wing ribs all day. The main ribs were a breeze, tedious but not difficult. Now I'm working on nose and tank ribs and am about to fling one out into the street. What's the secret to straightening these thnigs??!! (I got a few of them very straight, noticed that the curved side requires much deeper flutes.) It seems like right when everything is about to be straight, it *pops* and then the whole thing is out of whack! Help! Thanks in advance, Bart Hickory, NC __________________________________________________ ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:30:04 PM PST US From: "Larry Bowen" Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Ok builders, I need help! --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" So you've straightened the arch the ribs might have by fluting them, but they still have some slight twist in them? Is it the twist that's popping or the arch? Don't worry about the twist. They can be staightened as you drill them to maintain the centerline. You must be the guy looking for the wing stands. They are available, currently on the west side of Mocksville. - Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Bart Filipiak [mailto:bfilipiak@yahoo.com] > Sent: Saturday, June 10, 2006 9:04 PM > To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com > Subject: RVSouthEast-List: Ok builders, I need help! > > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: Bart Filipiak > --> > > I gretaly appreciate any advice anyone can provide. > > I'm building an 8, been working on wing ribs all day. > The main ribs were a breeze, tedious but not difficult.

Been there done that? Yes, it's a slight twist. I've been trying to get them to just lay down by themselves. Very light pressure will put everything straight. Am I stressing over nothing? And yes, the wing stands. Len mentioned them to me back in the fall during the airshow, and I was trying to get in touch with him to see if they were still available. Hopefully I'll have the ribs 100% finished tomorrow AM and can final drill to the spar. After that, the stands will come in very handy! Thanks again!
