| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 | Build | 06-Mar-12 16:34 |  | | Views : 553 | | The rib blanks were stacked evenly and stuck together with some new, sharp, pins. If I had needed more ribs I would have glued them together with Testor's "green glue". That way, when you are done shaping and sanding you can take them apart with acetone. |
| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 | Build | 06-Mar-12 16:31 |  | | Views : 511 | | I use the stacked rib method for cutting ribs on constant chord wings. The rib patterns were cut out from scans of the plans, glued to heavy card stock, cut out, and glued to the rib blanks that would be on the ends of the rib stack. |
