Default RE: hybrid wing problem

crash....

what you have discovered is the exact thing that i discovered in my original post. I spent several hours trying to figure out exactly what is going on. If you put a straight edge on all your ribs the way i did on my original first pictures, you will see that all ribs are straight except for r2....r2 is concaved at the trailing edge (this is why it is narrower at this point than r3, see picture below). I'm not completely sure what is going on but i "think" that not only r2 needs to be bigger at the trailing edge but the root rib r1 needs to be fatter at the trailing edge. I only fixed r2 and the little sr1...so my aileron will not narrow at the root. The way i'm set up now, r3 is as fat as my wing gets (at the trailing edge) r2 and r1 are the same at the trailing edge as r3. So if you were to put a straight edge on the top of my wing at the trailing edge, you would see a slight hump at r3. there could also be other problems with the trailing edges of the other ribs. I think my fix is the easiest way around this problem.

answer your question ....I put the jigs back as far as possible and shifted over to the r1 ribs as much as possible to get the trailing edge of the wing as low as possible because my trailing edge seemed to be a bit high when comparing center points of the ribs.

i was careful with the ca, i think as2 will not stick to the jig...this is the second wing. the first wing also needed the jigs to be as low as possible. also, since the wing jig is so far back, i can't put on the bottom ws2 until i turn the wing over.

ps...all those pieces ws1 ws2 as2 as1.. ...even the ws1 leading edge cap...the slits to fit into the ribs were off a hair requiring re-slitting.
