Hello all!
Well I have 22 wing ribs made from an older (20-years ago) set of plans I had. I'm at the point where I needed a full set of plans so I ordered them from Steen Aero Lab. I started reading through the documentation regarding amendments and see a reference to sheets 8 and 9. It recommends moving the uprights at 24" to 23-3/4. The reason is to eliminate the possibility of drag wire interference. Unfortunately I used the rib templates from my old plans.

I'm debating if I need to make new ribs for at least some of the spar locations. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Russ
