Woodstock Glider
Guys, we're talking about a wooden glider that is covered with plywood and fabric. Space age technology is not required. Your precision cut ribs will be cut in half, then glued to the spar........I'd be more concerned about maintaining a true cord line in the vertical assembly process. Jim's instructions were to glue the master rib sheet to 1/8 birch, then nail two blank rib pieces of 1/4 plywood, then cut to within 1/16 with a band saw, followed by disc sanding down to final size. Then nail two more blanks to the master and repeat the process. After all ribs have been glued to the spar, I like to level everything with a 36" sanding board running it fore and aft as I slowly move down the wing.
Hope this helps, JJ |

Please say a little more about how this works. I was thinking that precision and symmetry affects the left right balance in an aircraft. The gist of it is in Eric Stewart's article in the March 2018 issue of Soaring. --Bob K. |

Does anyone have available the drawings for the long wings. I bought an original set of drawings from
Jim in the mid '80,s (#58). The only thing I ever started on the project is the wing rib template , before I got side tracked on a Wittman Tailwind (very fast) and a Buttercup . Since retiring and having sold both my interest is again peaked in this glider, but if it makes a difference I'ld like a higher performance wing. Tailwind888WT |

Thanks Herbie I am helping the estate of one of our dearly departed soaring buddies sell off all of his soaring artifacts. I stumbled into a pile of wing ribs and a portion of a vertical stabilizer that I believe may be parts for a Woodstock. Anyone interested? Thanks, Paul |
