Time for a new project....

Ragwing 80% Tiger Moth replica.

Why? Well, I wanted a biplane before I built my UL, but just felt it was too complex for a first airplane project. So....here we go!

I was able to get some really nice D Fir, 18' full 1" x 12" boards. 30-36 grains per inch average. Really nice and straight. Plus it was free.... Ply for the sides of the fuse will be some Okume (okoume) I picked up for another project. T-88 for the glue.

Sawed up some stock, built a rib jig, and have already made 6 ribs for the top wing... no pics of those right this minute.
