Making Identical Balsa Aeroplane Ribs - Das Ugly Stik - RC Model Aeroplane Build & Repair

[@geoffreydowen5793]

hello again Mark, I got to this stage with my Outlaw build on Thursday; at my Activ Lives shed, here in Ipswich, Such a lovely feeling , I actually feel like im getting there at this stage. I used 3mm steel rods similar to your concept and it worked very well! Iwill probably be cutting out notches for spars next week ,so popped back here today for a refresher, I get nervous! especially after my stroke , I forget things, so I need to refresh often, your channel also gives me confidence to build my plane as I know your methods work, as with the wing rib success. so thank you again keep safe! and respect from suffolk uk . Im nervous about which glue to use now, but "onwards and upwards" thank you sir.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thank you very much for the message, good to hear how you are getting on, hope the build goes ok

[@kamalpreet7496]

Further, you are doing excellent job for hobby person

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thank you very much

Made many of them. Blew mine up to a 82 inch wing and used a G26 and it was the best fun flying plane. Always has a nose gear. Never a tail dragger. I used 3/16 balsa ribs and 3/8 fuselage sides. 1/4 top and bottom with 1/4 light ply on bottom front and 3/8 on top front. TNT landing gear made my gear and used fults nose gear.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Sounds a great build 😀

[@Bowman2B]

Thanks .very helpful.

Pleased it helped, thanks for the comment

Great demo showing only hand tools!!

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks very much appreciate the comment.

If you'll take a piece of hardwood the same width as the spars and attach sandpaper to them, you can quickly sand the notches while the ribs are still bolted together. This will quickly and easily give you notches the correct width and depth that won't require any tweaking when unbolted. Other than that, this is an excellent tutorial.

You're a genius, giving out this content for free. Love and support to you channel SIR!

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the comment

Nicely cut ribs makes for a good wing. My recent Sig Senorita had pretty poor quality die cut ribs ( someone should offer a wing short kit with laser cut ribs ).

[@sfdrcm]

Love to see craftsmanship. Sanding these to shape is not as easy as it looks. Goof job.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks for your comment and support

requested to show built of any glider for beginer

[@stev123and]

Have you done a video about producing ribs for a taper wing using the sandwich method. I'm curious how you set the smaller reference relative to the larger one prior to profiling the full sandwich.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Have not used the sandwich tech on tapered ribs, never really liked the idea or process, prefer to do them individually. I do have a video on cutting tapered ribs which you may fine useful. 😀

Great I love this way of doing pieces , you make easy what is dificult, Thanks , and Please continue using metric units the rest of the world will apreciate this I´m looking forward to see your next videos

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment, its really appreciated, pleased you enjoyed the video

[@Smokeyr67]

95% of the world use metric, so most of us appreciate it 👍😁

[@Gavstafunk]

I could've done with a video like this when I first started plan building back in 1983.Great vid!

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks for the kind comment, glad you liked it

[@allanpetersen9243]

Good video with good tips. I'd like to see how you cut /file the spar joints after sanding them?

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks for the comment, I use a razor saw, 42tpi, and then a scalpel to take out the tab, and I do the final fitting individually, you may find more detail in one of my other build series, hope that helps 😀

[@allanpetersen9243]

@@MarkRobinson555 Hi. Did the same individually, with all the ribs and your method is just easy:) Thank's

[@Gavstafunk]

What did you use to glue the paper template to the rib?

[@MarkRobinson555]

Just used a waterbased gum, like you get in schools, but PVA is just as good

[@christopherknee5756]

This video is a good case for making a foam wing! Much less work!

[@MarkRobinson555]

Well I guess people build for all different reasons, personally it's not about time or money, its about the enjoyment or building in wood. I am in no rush to finish, just nice to enjoy the process, but hey each to their own

[@FINNIUSORION]

Heresy! If that's your opinion just go buy a foamy
