I have managed to cut two new inner ribs. It was not the cutting that was slow or difficult, but rather generating the pattern for them.

We recently had to replace our old printer. We were pretty sick of the cheap thing. I could not alter print size for one thing. Now I can in 1% increments.

I had calculated that the new inner most rib should be 1.04% bigger. So I scanned in the original W1 and W2 and printed to those sizes. It was actually more work and trial and error than I have described, but basically it worked. Then I just had to cut them out.

Now to make another of both.

I have started on my rod holders. The magnets are glued on. I need to add a front stop and clamp bars. Then I can start building wings. The wing jig I am making will also work for other wings. Made no sense to make a one use jig. I may use bigger rods for bigger wings. These are a little flimsy but were a perfect fit for the existing holes. I may look at fitting something inside the rods I have now to stiffen them.

I can't figure out how to include the pdf of the new ribs.
