Default RE: how to modify rib profiles when changing wing

Measure each rib's position on the wing out the span.
Find the length of the chord at each position, and scale that to the root chord.
Find the percentage difference in chord length, IOW.
Have the CAD program draw each rib to the scale percentage for each chord, in both x and y.
The variation along the wing will then be consistent.
