My Hatz Bantam will use stamped aluminum wing ribs, so this may be the wrong crowd for this question. But....
How do I get started? The plans include small scale drawings of the ribs, but no full scale stuff. And no numbers to draw up the required arcs.
It uses the Clark Y airfoil, and I know the chord length. Can I simply find polars for the Clark Y and "do it myself"?
There are some wing bits that Mr. Bantam hasn't yet drawn up, but I don't know if rib details are among them. I guess I'd better ask. Being an "early bird" has its drawbacks, I suppose.
