47 Edge end ribs
I am building an OMP 47 Edge kit.
I noticed that the plans show two layers of balsa on the end ribs.
But there are only two "R6" ribs.
I see no mention of this in the instructions. Am I missing it?
Shouldn't there be two more ribs just a little bigger than R6 to cover the wing tips?
Thanks,
Ken

RE: 47 Edge end ribs
Ken you are supposed to use the scrap pieces of balsa that you cut out of the fuselage sheeting at the wing socket and glue those onto the tip ribs and trim and sand them to match the tip rib. Either that or just any scrap pieces of 1/16" balsa sheet will do.
