I believe is more easy build the stamped style ribs, similar to the last manufactured and can use wire, screws, or pop rivets for secure fabric in lieu of rib stitching.-
Too, with the stamped ribs, is more easy to put metal panel covers over the wing tanks.-

You just keep thinking that, you need a press and a die to make them properly, and every other method of attaching fabric requires a FIELD
APPROVAL if not using the wire. I have done 337's for both rib stitching and rivets. People told me that the one for riblacing couldnt be done but I got the ACO to approve it. How do you think that the cubs put tank covers on with the truss style ribs? Tim

Hello guys!!!
Thanks by read my comments. As I say to Hank, I am learning reading yours posts.
Thanks also by understand my poor english.-
ASTIP2, I am in accord with you, a die and a press is the ideal, but for a mass production.
For built few or a complete set for one aircraft, I think only is necessary a good pair of wood formers, a plastic mallet, a metal scisor and a circle cutter, and few more things.
You have alert me about the fabric attach method, I must study this with our aviation authorities.-
For the know of Robert, the reglamentations here are worst that in USA or UK, for our misfortune.-
Hugs to all.-
