I am rebuilding the wings of my spirit after a unfortunate landing in a oat field and am in need of some wing ribs. they are the old style round spar ribs which are not made by murphy anymore. i am curious to know it the bent ribs can be straighten and reused safely or completly replaced. the damage was all on the leading edge of the top right wing as well as wrecking the main spar.

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. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
