RE: Lightening the GP Skybolt
OK, Minn, I'm going for it. Once again, a picture is worth a thousand words. I will have to adjust the cuts a little bit to clear the wing bolt plates, and I will stay behind the front plate entirely. I'll weigh before and after.
I've begun on the bottom wing. I read where you mentioned eliminating some ribs. My LE and TE pieces are 'dato'ed to fit each rib. Was your kit like that, or did they start doing this after you bought yours, I wonder? Anyway, I would have to re-dato or just skip ribs if I were going that route, right? There does seem to be an overabudance of ribs for such a thin wing. I appreciate the time you have taken with me, Minn. Thanks a bunch!
