Nice work Phil and nice drawings Charlie.

I want to share a couple ideas.

1). Could you not make truss ribs out of pultruded graphlite rod. Just some simple pin jigs and use carbon fiber cloth at the joints?

2) I uploaded some photos that shows how I built some wing ribs. A full rack of ribs that really only took a few hours. The concept was to cut a slot and then drop in the spar. It all jig built and really pretty easy to do. Here's the link to our photo section.

Both of these ideas are for discussion purposes for CDII.

Regards,

Karl
