Jan 21, 2024 7 Starting on wing ribs Category: Wings
Starting on the structure of the wing. I was able to find a vendor on Ebay selling 7/8" sheets of honeycomb aluminum panels. I purchased 7 panels, planning on making 4 ribs per panel. I took a page from my full sized plans and cut out the wing profile, and glued it to a piece of thin plywood. Sanding the edges, I created a drawing and size template. I got out my table saw, and cut my panels down to 7.5 inch wide strips. Using my template I drew the wing profile on each of my strips and using my bandsaw , cut them to rough size. A few minutes work on the belt/disc sander and I have a rib. Only 27 more to go!
