• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Hey Guys,

Just saw the Acroduster Too for the first time, and what a pretty airplane. I am trying to figure out how the wing ribs are built. They aren't regular truss style ribs are they? Looks like a ply web in the center, with routed capstrips around that center web. Is that the case? If it is, where does a guy find this routed capstrip material? Also, it looks like each rib is really 3 ribs. Nose block, center rib between the spars, and a trailing edge piece. Again, not like a normal truss style rib. Do I have all this right so far?

Thanks,
Jay
