Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Gents,

Reconstruction of the Taurus wing ribs is still going on.
With information from the other side of the world It was possible to adjust all parameters of the program to have the right dimensions.
Length of ribs, thickness of ribs near hinge line, position of spars in the ribs seems to be alright.
As example wing rib 11, one of the calculation test ribs because on this pocation in the wing the aileron is not cut off.
Now our attention we have for the little differences between the plan ribs and the official NACA 2419 airfoil, and if necessary we can change the data of the airfoil in the program to match them with the plans. Our profit in the future, the wing will be reproducible and we have all data in metric units. Also modifications will be more easy. Straight TE for the Les Fruh Taurus for example but there are more reasons.
