At the risk of sounding like an idiot..
1) With my plans I received two additional sheets that are identical. These sheets appear to be templates for the wing ribs and aileron ribs. There was no inventory list included. Should there be more templates for jigs, etc?
2) The plans make it look like the wings are free to pivot at the root if one of the landing or lift wires were to fail or come loose. The "I" strut seems to keep the distance between the wings constant. Not being an engineer, is this really all that holds the wings in place?
3) I expected to see more step by step instruction in the plans. I think I'll need to spend some time with the local EAA folks. Are there any non-A&P first time builders out there? What were your impressions of the plans? Can I assume that any changes that were published in the news letters have been applied to the plans?
Cheers,
David
