October 18, 2012 - EAA Chapter Meeting at the House

This month, my EAA Chapter had its monthly meeting at my house so they could see the Triplane project.   I cleaned up the shop.  Let me tell you, it was as clean as its been in a long time. 

Here the Chapter members are checking out my Plans.   In the background is the "welding room". 

  
Showing the members the Rib jig. 
  
Showing off some finished ribs.
  
I have finished all the regular ribs and most of the doubler ribs.  Only the wingtip ribs are left.  They are different than the regular ribs as you might imagine. 
  
A better look at the rib jig.
  
Explaining how the Capstrip bending jig works.
  
I think the members liked the Triplane project because it is old school: plans, wood and steel tube. 
  
Ribs.  Look how clean and uncluttered that workbench is!
  
And more ribs.
  
Showing off the spar table.  Won't be long before I start building the rectangular box spars.
