    Preceptor Pup Wing Rib Dimensions

    I'm sharing a bit more for anyone who may need or be following this. I've started on the master template. The paper template is glued down and have made a correction to the bottom of the trailing edge. Not a big deal, the outline isn't straight on the paper template. Just corrected for it before...

    Preceptor Pup Wing Rib Dimensions

    I thought I'd share what I have. I used a straightedge to align the bottom of the template.

    Oh, before I forget. For some who are new to building and/or this post, remember to add 1/8 inch around the rib template when cutting your rib blanks.

    I wanted to share what Carlson's Aircraft sent. All together this style would save weight. They make two styles. One for stitching and the other for riveting. The cap strips are .50 inches. They are the same basic shape and dimensions.

    Thank you, Sir. No I haven't had any luck yet. I contacted the company I ordered from and I've put put in a holding pattern. I appreciate anything you can help with. This detail is what is keeping me from starting the build. Respectfully, Matt

    Preceptor Pup Wing Rib Dimensions

    Hi all. So my issue is I do not have enough information about the wing rib for the Pup/Super Pup/so on. My plans do have a template, but my plans are in electronic form, and I have no dimensions for proper sizing of the rib. Would anyone have a lead on this information? Or maybe a a formed rib...
