Default Accurate Wing Ribs.

Many thanks for both your replies.

I'll be using the AG35 and AG36 from the Mark Drela stable. I'm new to the world of airfoils which appears to be a minefield and looking at the accuracy of computer plotted airfoils thought this accuracy would have be maintained throughout finishing with CNC cutting.
I think I will just take my time in hand making accurate templates.
Looks like balsa bashing isn't a thing of the past after all !

Dickeybird - I've tried to reproduce a picture here of my brand new Cox 051 number 200 purchased December 1974. I normally place it over our fireplace which I think is an equivalent work of art compared to my wife's ceramic figures - its a bone of contention but there it stays !!
