I see some planes with more ribs than others. Is this a trade off between better stiffness and airfoil shape vs weight? Is anything less than 3-1/2" spacing really necessary on a 600 sq. in. wing?
.............. I have considered adding half-ribs every inch to avoid "starved horse" problems. Brett
3 and a half inches? I don't know about that, most are more like 2" and I have considered adding half-ribs every inch to avoid "starved horse" problems. Brett
The sagged part is less than the intended airfoil thickness. If you scientifically selected the airfoil, don't you want it everywhere?
Brett,replacing the turtledeck would be faster than building a new plane!heck you have a week before the nats,, get to it LOL
