We finish the first wing rib on our Hatz Classic build! This is the very first completed part for our project plane; one of 32 "ribs" that make up the substructure of the four biplane wings. The ribs and spars are all made of aircraft-grade sitka spruce wood, held together by plywood gussets and structural epoxy. This method of construction is lightweight and strong!
Hope you are enjoying these videos, which are a bit different than our usual adventure vlogs. We hope watching this series will inspire you to learn more about building an aircraft from scratch, and perhaps give you a boost to start your own project.

In the 50s my dad decided to build a home built plane. In the basement he was cutting a sawing tiny pieces of wood such as in the video. Using weldwood glue that was a powder and teeny tiny tacks so small they were almost impossible to pick up. I decided I was never going to fly with dad on this flim flam contraption. Dad gave up and bought a 46 Taylorcraft BC12D that he flew till is passing in 1974. I did fly with him in the Tcraft.

Which engine are you going to use? Or is it to early in the process to answer?

@TangoandJuliet 3 года назад

Haven’t decided yet...but we’d really like to use a 9 cylinder Verner Radial! If not that it will be an O320.
