butt rib installation

[GWright6970]

Tom,
If it is not too much trouble, I would like to see a picture of the "finished product..."

It would also put the "finishing touch" on this part of the thread. THANK YOU! Grover

Here's how I've done some:

First, I cover the inside with fabric, then install it on the fuselage.

Next, I bond two small aluminum strips at either end of the butt rib to attach fabric to.

Lastly, I cover around the square door tube and under the butt rib.

Notice earlier builds had the cap strip facing inward, now it faces outward.

I added the finished photos to my post above. It's post #9

Did mine with glasscloth/epoxy for the rib, and aluminum under. I also glued
in Lexan viewports to see the sight tubes:
