A question for welder: I have never built this plane so I'm wondering if the plans have all the ribs and formers shown on the plans in profile? Back in the day this was often the norm but not always. I'm finishing an old design now from kit plans with all the parts shown. This was done in case repairs were needed but they quit doing it later on and we had to make our own templates from the kit parts.
That plane is your first effort?? Fantastic build and really a good covering job!!
