41% Trueworthy Pitts 12 build - Page 76

LRFitch · , 12:10 PM

Guys,
I'm finally about ready to start sheeting the wings on my 41%. What is the best way to remove all the rib standoffs with out breaking too much? Looks like a lot of sawing, and chances for damage with me at the handle is quite likely.

I used a hacksaw blade then sanded out the small bumps left. Initially I used a razor saw but they (different ones) kept binding. Be careful not to apply too much pressure and let the blade do its work. There is not much rib material there and too much pressure or a binding blade can break them.

Dale, thanks. That is exactely what I am concerned about, especially near the trailing ends of the ribs.

Does anybody has replacement parts?

I'm finally getting around to finishing up my 41% JTEC kit. I don't see anything in the build or on the plans that refers to the CG location. Would any of you folks happen to know? Thanks, Jerry.
