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

Further, you are doing excellent job for hobby person

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Great demo showing only hand tools!!

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

Thanks .very helpful.

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 ).

Nicely explained Mark, nice one.

Some great tips there my mate! I love sticks and love building them!

I will be implementing your techniques in my own Ugly Stick build later this year! 👍 Great tips!

a bit late to the party, but amazing tutorial. Thank you!

Josss bapak

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.

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

requested to show built of any glider for beginer

Nice video Mark! Subscibed!

Get your self a router make templates do 3 or 4 ribs all at the same time use a flush cut bit.

Great tips, do you have video building D.B. Piper Cub (2134 mm)

kindly name the thin rod which is threaded with tiny bolt to hold all the ribs. i am not getting the same. what it is called or for what purpose it is used. kp india

further, give me online link to purchase threaded rod with its nuts. hoping for immediate reply because i am not getting in inida

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

Where can i got a set of plans for the Das Ugly stick 60 size or even 1/4 scale if pa-sable like the video thank you

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

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