    Donna i am at morpeth, 30kms upstream (18 miles) from newcastle on the hunter river (at phoenix park) 160kms (100 miles) north of syndey in NSW.
    I am slowly building a 4 seater. my dad is bulding a riblett wing out of timber but with a diffferent set of numnbers than the one bob barrows has chosen. the guys get the riblertt nomeclautre mixed up. GA 30-413.5 with the GA 30 being the series. the next digit is the lift coeff at crusie but without the decimal. ie 4 is 0.4 at cruise. the guys in the chat talk and paul dye get it mixed up with the camber. its not the camber digit. tthe next digits 13.5 is the maximum thicmness. anyway we are using GA30-313.5 with the difference is the lift coeeff at cruise is 0.3
    in 1996 my dad was liaising with harry riblett via many hand written letters over a new wing for the Wittman W8 - first flew in 1978 . thats about the time bob built the first 4 seater (1995). by 1998 i built 27/28 timber ribs for dad to help expedite the process. i would do one out of timber every nigth. he showed me how to do the first one. we lived 3 hrs apart. anyway it gave more performance at stall (slower flight) more top end speed and more rate of climb.

    I am realy imrpessed with your Patrols. you certianly have done an execellant job. also i l really like the gas strut you installed to keep the window open. its good stuff you share with the forum - and well done you have two superb aircraft. the paint scheme is a beauty too.
    i opened packages from Avipro the other day with vettermaen exhaust for my 0360, full engine mount, rudder pedals, controls tick assmebly, rear seat, main fuel tanks, fuel tank caps, all rwally well built by Mark's factory. I am tryign to buy antyhting now I can to expedite the build.
    Talk soon. who is in Adelaide, you mum and dad or siblings?
    Are you an Aussie?
