STOL wing ribs

[Avid Bob 2]

Does anyone know where I can get a template for a STOL wing ribs ?

[High Country 69]

Ed has templates for everything   I'm sure he will chime in soon.

I posted a Kitfox 2 undercamber rib outline overlaid with the Riblett Kitfox 4 rib on Files and Forms - I included a yardstick so you can print it and take it to a copy shop and have it enlarged until the yardstick is actual size. I did not show the interior of the ribs.

The Kitfox 2 rib is similar to the Avid STOL, but the interior cutouts are different.

I am sure that someone on here can trace or copy a STOL rib with cutouts for you.

I would bet that Doug Holly or someone on here has what you need.

I have my left wing off right now adding a 13 gallon tank.  I'll make you a template tomorrow and post it.

Like Doug would say, Guys on here are not a lot of "Beotchs" like on some other sites.

It's good to be talking to all of them and learning from them.

Amen!

Some folks may think Leni is being mean to me, because I drive on a forward tricycle, and my engine sounds different than a chainsaw - but we really have a friendly sparring, considering that I am an old advanced thinker and flyer!

What kind of old Contisaurus engine is in that new spam can on floats?

A Bud Lite to you, Captain Morgan!

That 4-banger will get my big wings with the Cessna 182 wingtips off of the ground!

And, bet my gas bill is a lot less!

I actually considered having 4 wheels in front instead of 3 - makes sense to me, and someone did it - like Amphib floats without the floats, since I don't swim!

Where is ChrisB? I need a Kayak hauler for reinforcements!

ALL IN FUN! But, when was the last time you saw a Jet plane with a tailwheel?

Speaking of Kayaks...

Anyone have any ideas about mounting a 10' rotomold craft under a tail wheel KF2 with a 582?

 

Just thinkin'...

Talk to ChrisB.  He has hauled his kayaks under his avid but I think it was tricycle gear.  If you can hang the kayak under the fuse with ratchet straps your good to go.

Yes, ChrisB uses a nose-dragger to haul his Kayaks - I have seen photos.

What ever you hang under your bird, just make darned sure that it isn't too tail-heavy - They only fly once!

I always put the kids in the front 

[akflyer 1427]

Perfect, you don't have to hear them scream that way

Make sure they have the paddles, in case you land on water!

Oh no. They like carnival rides.

I like your style!

[EDMO 1078]

Now, all you need is a nose wheel!

[akflyer 1427]

Hmmm... maybe in another 50 yrs or so

[marshawk 82]

If your still looking for a template I could probably make you one, I have some heavy hauler ribs here

[Av8r3400 1179]

This one has nose wheels, too!
