archerwin Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 can't say no more ;) Any reviews on Aires engine ? Does it require a major surgery ? JAhja it's very good! recommended! it will be doubly cool if they add the engine braces too.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerwin Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Can you tell us how to do the wing ribs ? cheers wing ribs: 1. temporarily attach the upper and lower wing together. 2. i used solder wire to get the contour of the wing sections. you should consult your references on the location of the ribs and spars. [or you could buy a contour gauge which is more expensive and use it to get the contour of the ribs] 3. transfer profile of each ribbing to a paper/or directly to a styrene sheet. 4. cut the profiles from the styrene sheet slightly smaller than the actual profile. you need to do this bec you will be attaching this to the lower wing surface. 5. attach the spars. it's better to attach all of the ribs 1st then attach the spars by cutting into the ribs to make way for the spars. 6. sand/paint HTH -erwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
