U Name It/Trident Rib Patterns?
« on: May 26, 2019, 10:55:39 AM »
Anyone know where to get rib patterns for the U Name It/Trident? The plans show one root rib and I'd rather find patterns instead of projecting an airfoil that may or may not be as designed.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bob,
This is great news!  I normally use an Ajusto Jig for tapered wings but the lost foam jib may be a better choice. I'm on the road until Tues night and will call you on Wed night. What time zone are you in so I don't call too early/late?
Thank You,
Bill

Bill I have the original plan from MAN. It shows all the ribs full size. I can scan the ribs if that would help. I'm wondering what set of plans you have that don't show the ribs? Send me an email with your address if interested.

Thanks Dennis, let me check the MAN plans site and see if those plans are still available. I have the ones on outerzone and thought they were complete.

Pretty sure plans can be ordered from Tom Dixon. I have a set of originals. If I can locate them I'll let you know. This design was kitted by Consolidated (as the Trident) but those kits are few and far between.  8)
