Default Dumb Question

If the first rib on your wing is set with the dihedral, are the following ribs at 90 deg to the table?

Almost ashamed to ask....

The only "dumb question" is the one you DON'T ask...

You are absolutely correct, the first (center) rib of each panel is angled for the dihedral, all others are at 90 degrees to the spar.

What are you building?

Default rib

On the four star I just built, the ribs all lock in place and are perpindicular to the table. The first was the only one that had the angle.

Probably depends on the model you are building but for a strong wing, I would think they would be 90 deg.

Thanks guys.

I've just started a Venture 60. Planning on a Saito 72.

Appreciate the rapid response.

Venture 60 eh? You probably don't know it yet, but that is probably the BEST kit you will ever have an opportunity to build!
