Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizer Rib Templates

[alaskabearhawk]

I'm just trying to get an idea if anyone would be interested in copies of my rib templates. I was thinking of making copies and selling them for a reasonable fee to help fund my BH habit.

Well, 42 views and no response. I guess that's a resounding no thanks.

How much shipped to Monroe, WI 53566?

I would be most interested. I'm better than a year from needing them thou....

I guess it depends on what "reasonable fee" turns out to be, but I would certainly be interested.

Are you talking about the wooden strips like the ones Mark sells that add the profile shape to the tail?

No, the templates to make form blocks for the ribs themselves. They would be useful for someone that is scratch-building their tail and want the profiled surfaces like the Patrol. I suppose you could use them for making the wood strips, but in that case I suspect it would go faster to just buy the strips from Mark.

Depends on the "reasonable fee". I am a few years away from needing them. What did you use for the form block? I know you made a video on it a while back but couldn't find it.

But I would be interested...

I'm interested.

I have templates in DXF files for all the tail ribs for the Patrol, and will make them available for a very reasonable fee; free. These are for steel ribs as per my plans. I think the new ones in the kits are aluminum, but the templates should work for those too. I used the templates to make blocks and formed the ribs from 0.040 mild steel. Very easy to do. Also have DXF files for the rib blanks, in case any of you have access to a waterjet machine.
