Hi Dave, is this the rib that attaches to the outboard ends of the spars? It appears on the plans that there is one rib at the end of each wing that is the full profile of the airfoil. Thanks, Tim
This is the last rib at the tip, or ribs rather. The nose rib is still separate, you can see the split behind the plywood mounts in the pic. From the plans the only main ribs that are different are the short ribs (for the tank area) and the wing root rib, not counting the cutout "D" difference for ribs 1-5.
Oh, I see what you mean though, the plans do seem to indicate that last rib is "one piece". Guess the kits are different. But then why does the plans have you make 30 nose ribs... Now I'm confused and I didn't even have to make any ribs lol.
The kits have typically had multi-piece outboard ribs, which is a difference from the plans. There are a handfull of similar changes, such as the way the tunnel is done, etc.
