Status: offline 		This is a piece of 12" x 48" 1/8" light ply. Most of the wing ribs that get cut out for the retracts are doubled on both sides with this ply. The rib furthest to the outside of the wing gets doubled with 1/4" birch ply. There is also a pic of the scroll saw I am using. $39 plus tax from Harbor Freight.

Status: offline 		I have been asked not to post the information about where I got the overlays for the rib cutouts. They are from the person who was the last to manufacture the Annco Retracts. However, anyone who wants the contact information can send me a PM and I can give the contact information out that way. That is how the person who sent me the overlays wants it handled.
Thanks

Thanks

Status: offline 		Don't worry, more pcs to come. I have been busy cutting out the doublers per the overlays for the Annco retracts and gluing them to the ribs that came in the kit. I have the right wing ribs and top and bottom spars CA'd together. I'll post some pics later this week.
