Step two is I also plan to cut a set of wing ribs on my CNC router. If it goes well I'll see if I can offer up a short kit of parts for others wanting to build a wing.

I think that's great. As I said, it is a working drawing. Used for rib placement. Most of the time I just use a building stick and never draw a plan.

I have a Great Planes Ryan 82" Arf that is 12 years old and has over 225 flights on it. A few years ago, I refinished it with resin and glass on the fus and coverite on the wings. I finished it hobbypoxy paint. It gained some weight, so I replaced the Os 120 Surpass with Saito 80. I will try download some photos later.

Captain, I have the manual but it is in the box, and that box is at the bottom of the stack (as in 45 minutes of rearranging to get at it). If you don't get another response by the weekend, I'll undertake the digging.

Dick T....do you still offer the graphics for the Byron Ryan in Hester scheme?
I need all opinion on engine choice...DLE-35RA or DLE 55RA ?
I'm thinking the DLE-55 will be too much for this plane.

Speedy, no I don't make vinyl graphics any longer. My equipment is as old as me so we're both getting tired.
Sent you a PM but you may not have received it. I can supply the vector files so they can be made at any sign shop. send me a direct email.
Also I plan a stock G-38 for my Ryan. I do believe a 50cc+ will be too much.

Guys, due to my deteriorating health, I'll probably never be able to finish this Ryan. Wings are framed up and ready to cover. Everything is there. ZDZ 40 RE/RI is included. Willing to listen to offers. Located in Central Fl. Don't want to ship.

I am back working on my Ryan and discovered it does not seem to have any right thrust built into the firewall. I always add about 1 or 2 degrees of right thrust into all my warbirds. Has anyone flown the model without any thrust adjustments? I also decided to make the wings and tail surfaces out of balsa. I will show some photos in the future and describe the method I used to draw my own plans and cut my own ribs if anyone is interested.
Thanks, P51 Tom
