Speed wing ribs

I am looking for a set of speed-wing ribs for an Avid Mk IV. Anyone have a set? Or perhaps would lend me one as a pattern?

Here are some images of the speed and undercambered ribs that I scanned in 3D and then converted to bitmap images. These images are very accurate with no distortion and could be used to make patterns. You will just need to have them printed at a scale where the spar center to center measurement is 27.5"

Thank you for files. Do you have these as a a vector file? I would like to have one printed in 3D.

Unfortunately I do not. The 3D image is not an open format that can be used for 3D printing.

Hi Brett,

Is the 3D image a solid works file?

It is not a Solidworks format. The scans were done on an industrial 3D measurement system and the 3D format is not open and usable in other software. The best I can do is the bitmap images that I posted above.

It should be possible to import the bmp images into Solidworks and draw the parts. I have done this many times in Autocad.
