Default RE: Classic pattern for .20 cu.in

Way cool. I've been collecting MK plans and just about every one only has the wing root and Rib W-4. No other rib or former templates. Bummer.

I've been creating ribs by using the Fuse's side view of the wing root as well , then subtracting 3/32 for the skin. The tough part is gettin the the right height of the rib at the wing tip. Since I don't have Profili I copy the root and scale it down to the length of the tip rib than loft the two together to get a 3D version of one side of the wing. At this point I add 3/32" 3d rectangles thru the wing then use the interfere comand to get the ribs. I guess it's the long way around, but I get a 3d verison of the ribs then use the Explode command to get a 2d for laser cutting.
