Good information Keith, and Charlie you might look and see if the ribs are closer together at the "prop wash" locations. The Waco rib spacing are evenly spaced except where the prop wash comes across the wings. they are a little closer together their. Not sure if all fabric covered wings are that way.

Allen,
Thank you, Blessings also.
I have the Pica Waco, built it many moons ago for R/C, it was my 'flag ship' at that time, for pitching graphics, now the covering, iron on, is literally deteriorating to the touch. Never seen fuel!
I'll redo it in silk and paint for CL. Eventually.
Seems there's always something not right keeping me from continuing with the G-22.
The one above was framed as per the plans and a Clark Y. Certainly incorrect ribs and rib spacing plus the center section is sheeted for strength for the cabanes.
My choices would be to correct these wings or build new ones from scratch.
I hate building wings.
I've been collecting drawings, photos and build articles on the G-22 for over 30 years.
I've had these Wawylam drawings for quite some time, and you are absolutely correct! Yes, the rib spacing is gathered at the wing center.
I have decisions I must make if I choose to continue with this model, or shelf it and dig out the one I have partially framed.
I hope I'll live long enough to get all this done.
Allen, thanks for the reply.
