Hello everyone.

I have an Italian aircraft JetFox 91D,  MY91 with a broken wing. So I need to rebuild it, but the skin (covering) has a poor condition and I decided to rebuild a wing using Kitfox or Avid technology.

Anybody could share measurements for Kitfox or Avid ribs?
Size 1, size 2, size 3, and size 4

and thickness for plywood (top and bottom stripes + rib) 

Thanks,

Ivan

I'll try to get the dimensions after supper when I measure the 912 motor mount parts.  Some of them I know off hand.  The #4 dimension is I believe the width of the cap strip.  That is 1".  The thickness of cap strip is 1/8" , and the width of the plywood used in the rib is 1/4".  This is the plywood used.  FINNISH BIRCH AIRCRAFT PLYWOOD (METRIC) | Aircraft Spruce   JImChuk

PS  Dimension #1 and #3 are 1/2", and #2 is 5/8"

The ply wood on the front of the rear spar is usually 3/16 10ply and the ply wood behind the rear spar is usually 1/4 12ply.
