Default RE: Cleveland 84

So now I'm thinking about the extra forces on the stab vs the free flight original design. In the center, I will need to add sheeting, so I cut 1/16 off the top of the center ribs. On the bottom, I will just scarf in some sheeting between the ribs and spars. This also has the advantage of providing a better gluing surface to mount the vertical stab. Here's the center ribs and their cut-off portion. I left just enough to make a small land for the 1/16 spar.
