I'm just getting started with my lower wing construction and although I have a hundred questions I'll just start with three.
1. What are the pro's and con's of extra ribs to lessen fabric drumming? If the pro's out weight the cons, what are the station locations. Does this cause a huge interference problem with the drag wires?
2. Do spar filler strips cover over the doubler plates or just cover the thickness of the spar? Do doubler plates ever cover filler strips? Does the grain orientation matter on filler strips?
3. What is the grain orientation of compression struts. Does it matter?
Thanks,
Tim.
