This technique could easily be used for a KR wing but most of us picked the KR design for a reason. Maybe it was to build it sorta similar to a KR!    ; ) In making my statement below more clear: The  Wittman Tailwind ribs are regular old style made up ribs from strips of wood, you know, the t

The Wittman Tailwind has a constant chord wing. The wooden ribs that slip onto the main spar are made from 1/2" wide strips of wood instead of a typical 1/4" wide strips of wood so there is more gluing surface, rib to plywood. I personally would not want to glue wood skins to foam ribs unless th

Yeah, and many Tapered wings use a different airfoil in the Root than the outer portion/panel& Like you mention, every rib is different in chord & thickness in a true tapered wing ie: Midget Mustang (M1/MM1) CldLk-Tim - Original Message - From: "Fred Johnson" I agree Steve, and a

I've thought about that a few times and it still has some appeal. Getting the rib profiles right looks like the challenge from my perspective. Any tips? Tony King Queensland Australia Sent from my iPhone On 25/01/2011, at 2:02 AM, STEVE bennett wrote: > > I bet one could build a set of wood

I wonder if anyone has done a foam rib with ply skin attached directly to the foam? Would that even work? Fred Johnson Reno, NV Phil wrote: That is a very good point Steve. One could also build a metal wing just as easy, with metal wing tanks.

The GP4 that George Pereira flies has a layer of 5.?? OZ cloth covering the wings, the GP5 that "almost" raced at Reno this year is built the same way, except it has two layers of cloth over 1/16th inch mahogany 45 degree ply. It has been clocked at over 435 MPH before the engine blew. Fred

SAteve Your right Steve. This past year I built a set for my sons Cassutt. It was a breeze...but a it more expensive than foam/glass. They are still in the shop so I will weigh them/it (single piece wing). We are contemplating a layer of glass for weather protection tho. I am not sure that th

I agree Steve, and a lot faster to build too. if you build a constant chord, sans RV, only one rib jig to build. Fred Johnson Reno, NV Steve wrote: I bet one could build a set of wood KR wings, constant cord would be easier, but tapered cord doable. About 8 ribs in outer panel - all wood.

I bet one could build a set of wood KR wings, constant cord would be easier, but tapered cord doable. About 8 ribs in outer panel - all wood. skinned with 1/6" 45 degree mohogany plywood. GP4 uses similar construction but uses 3/32 45 degree ply on top and bottom of wings. It of course has a
