Hey all!
The plans for my starduster arrived today so now I can start building! I am going to start with the wing ribs as it seems like a good place to start as any. I knew that the starduster used routed plywood web ribs but after doing a lot of reading I have come to the conclusion that they are inferior to built up truss type ribs. Can anyone persuade me not to make this change? Also what sort of demensions should I use, from what I have read 3/8ths square spruce would be the most appropriate.
Cheers,
Adam
