Good evening and season's greetings to all of you on the Biplane Forum.
I have after much prevarication commenced my Acro II build. As I have stated in other threads this has been a lifelong ambition and it feels great to have finally made the first component.
Firstly, public thanks to Dennis Flamini the "information" you gave me a year ago has proved invaluable and without it my project would never have started. Many many thanks.
I could not possibly start a thread on Acrosports without acknowledging the wealth of information available on Smizo's Acro, this is a beautiful aircraft, the quality of the build sets an amazing standard and the thorough documentation of the build is far better than any book of instructions or manual. I have dipped in and out of these threads extensively and will continue to do so. So thank you.
It is great to see Chiru's Acro evolving, there has been some activity on his thread recently so it looks like that build is progressing again. I gather Chiru has made available various CAD/CAM files to the Acro building community so thank you for your help, inspiration and expertise. Good luck with finishing your aircraft.
So I have built a couple of wing jigs, one for the upper, one for the lower. I have cut up a load of 1.5mm ply into small pieces and cut some Sitka Spruce into strips. I have finally produced my first rib!
One small step!!
