The flaps/ailerons of my Bede lists Mahogany as the the material for some ribs. The ribs are 1x7x2 in a symmetrical teardrop shape with a 1in hole for the torque tube.
There are a total of 8 ribs.
The Janke scale lists Red Oak at 1250lbf but multiple Mahogany species from 830lbs up to 3600lbf.
Any suggestions?
