So I gotta tell someone!
Not sure where to put this, as it's not Aeronca related, but it is aviation related.

My project is underway, expedited by our own David Johnson, who loaned me a rib with the proper NACA 23012 airfoil. Thus, saving me days of measuring and marking all the coordinates. So I had a jig built inna 'bout 30 minutes. and am crankin' out ribs at the blistering speed of one per day.
At that rate I'll need to order my spars, within a month. I'd already have them but I gotta save up for them.

Patterns Thanx Dave:D

I'll probably stop at around 27 or so.

I would make a couple of extra just in case they are needed afterwards.

Never hurts to have a couple extra and now is the time to make them.

You're right I'll probably go for about 30 or so.
And I'll still have the jig, so I can make more at any time.
