Hey Guys,
Just saw the Acroduster Too for the first time, and what a pretty airplane. I am trying to figure out how the wing ribs are built. They aren't regular truss style ribs are they? Looks like a ply web in the center, with routed capstrips around that center web. Is that the case? If it is, where does a guy find this routed capstrip material? Also, it looks like each rib is really 3 ribs. Nose block, center rib between the spars, and a trailing edge piece. Again, not like a normal truss style rib. Do I have all this right so far?
Thanks,
Jay
