Ercoupe Build (slow)

Tim Wescott:
My ride for the Regionals in May, if I can get it done.  I just got the plans from the printer -- they lack detail.

Tim Wescott:
And ain't I making fast progress?  I'll be lucky to have something flyable -- I think I have too many irons in the fire.

I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to drill holes for my usual stunt jig.  I've chosen to use the original airfoil, so there's not a flat line anywhere to set on a building board.  I'll probably do this on a jig -- it just seems more sane.

Tim Wescott:
Nineteen ribs cut, at least nineteen more to go.  So far I've been progressing without drawing up plans, but I should maybe at least sketch out the rib layout & which ribs need to be shortened as I go into the wing tips.  Hmm.

wwwarbird:

 Just curious, what will the wingspan be?

1/8 scale, 60".  I'm trying for not to big, not too small.
