taylorcraft stamped ribs

[DonJohnson]

[Ragwing nut]

which ones, I have a few left.

[DonJohnson]

maybe 3 center ribs for left wing ...1for right wing....1 tail rib for right wing at aileron section

[Ragwing nut]

maybe 3 center ribs for left wing ...1for right wing....1 tail rib for right wing at aileron section

let me know if they are left or right flange ribs, and will see what I have.

It also matters WHERE on the wing it is. The holes in the ribs ARE NOT all the same! The holes were moved a bit to clear the drag and anti drag wires as well as other hardware in the wing. Certain ribs are open on the fuselage side and some on the wing tip side. They are NOT interchangeable. It took me a LOOOONG time to get it straight which ribs went in which place. It is NOT random!

I need to dig out my spreadsheet of which rib goes where. Get it right and the wing goes together really easy. Get one out of place and it doesn't go together at all.

here picture of wing ...all ribs are alike except flanges are turned opposite directions. maybe they have been replaced, plane has been stored in barn for some 30 years. I dont know how to tell difference except left or right wing and which way flange is turned

[3Dreaming]

What he wants to know is which side the flange is on when standing behind the wing looking at the rib.

ok i think i get it now....Ragwing nut maybe you could call me and we talk about ribs..870-291-0247

Lay some of the ribs on top of each other and look where all the cut outs and holes are. They are NOT the same. It isn't just if the flange is to the right or left. There are rectangular holes in some, pitot tube holes in the left side ribs only, round holes for drag/anti-drag wires that don't go through the big oval holes and even support tabs for things like the wing tip light wires..
