Default RE: Herr Pitts Special Kit Build Thread

Thanks for the info hogflier. Will note that for future builds.

Just noticed my lower wing looks like a voodoo doll in that pic. I used a bunch of smaller pins to make sure that sheeting lay flat while I was gluing the ribs in place.

I now have four different sizes of push pins - from the thick T-pins to the smallest ball headed pins. The smallest are awesome - just picked them up this last weekend. Note in the pic I have some inserted vertically through the ribs at the spar - no splitting of the rib material and it really held the rib secure for the joint to cure. Works great!
