I am trying to repair/rebuild a mid 90's or so Spitfire ultralight. Somewhere along the way the ribs have gotten lost, and I need to make some new ones. I had planned on using the plastic rib attactments (affordaplane style) and cover the wings with conventional fabric/paint instead of sailcloth. The problem is I need either a airfoil to copy or a radius for the front of the rib to create the airfoil. Any ideas?
