Hello Bryan

I think RaineDave (?) has done the whole Aurora in CAD.

Cheers

I gotAurora 60 templates from anotherRCU memberbut he requested that I not share them.Hence the question. I would ask RaineDave but he has not logged on since Feb 2010. I believe he had some type of accident, but have not got any details. Hope he is well.

W2 length = 297mm
W2 LE height = 15mm
W2 TE height = 19mm

W14 length = 180mm
W14 LE height = 10.5mm
W14 TE height = 9mm
Thanks for the detailed measurements of the root and tip ribs. Your measurements verified what I was seeing in the files you sent.Would it not be better if at least the LE were the same size from root to tip?I can change this whenmaking the rib templates. Seem's like it would make the wing a little easier to build, e.g. able to keep the shape better or would it dramtically change the airfoil of the wing? Due to the way the TEis I don't see how changing it would benefit unless the ribs went the whole cord length, which could be done as well. At first I thought the two part ribs were for flaps but it appears it's just an extra step. All input welcome on this, by the way.
