Hi, I just saw a plane advertised whose builder is using a set of C140 wings on what will be a parasol airplane. As I read further he mentioned he will incorporate a certain degree of sweep, maybe 5 or 8 ° or so. Don't the ribs have to face forward, as in a straight wing? He didn't mention he was rebuilding the Cessna wing as such, so I assume he is not. Just curious, really, how that would work?
