Need 4Star60 Rib Profiles
 

I am constructing an engineering-type model of the 4Star60. When I built my 4Star I didn't think to create profiles of the rib types. The plans include 2 views of the ribs. One as positioned on the fuse (side view) and one standalone. Of course, they don't match. The side view will be used to verify the profile of the fuse & fuse doubler.

If someone took the time to outline the ribs &scan them, could you post the pics or PMme?

TIA

I have a kit in the box. it's going on the building table this spring.
I scanned each of the laser cut ribs. If you print them out full size, you should have what you need.

I think the attachment is here, but will check to be sure.

Thanks Art,

This exercise has been a bit enlightening. Neither of the paper plans for the wings are straight. The distances between the ribs are neither consistent on the same plan nor between the plans. Then Ilooked at the manual and this particular kit uses a laser cut 1-piece main spar shear web and same for the rear spar shear web. Next time (uh huh) I will make sure that things are square irrespective of whether they match the plans or not.

Sometimes brain damage just happens ....
