Larry,

Very nice. You do very clean work. I love pictures of the bones of planes.

Hey Larry-

Can I have the other one? Please bring it to the Alameda field on Sunday. Please also be sure the PA is still in it. Thanks very much!

Sorry Ty  I don't have plans formy Imitation Plus Yes the wing is lost foam , on the fusalage all I did was
use the same moments of the profile with a 1" longer nose for balance,and mold all parts to keep it light.
I flew one of are club member's profile Imitation and it flew well but I think the built up fusalage is a better plane.  the top one is #1  and the other is #2

I know it's probably not that important, but I'm a retread and the angled ribs are new to me, is there any advantage other than saving weight?

The ribs done that way gives the wing more torsional rigidity as well as saving a bit of weight .Keith Varley
