This is a DIY video showing how to build the Legal Eagle ultralight airplane wing ribs. When this is completed It has room for one person in the ultralight airplane.
CAUTION: Use adhesives at your own risk. I am not recommending any adhesives.

TiteBond3: there's no better glue to use. Well done! I was a bit surprised you didn't glue gussets on the back side of the rib right after removing it from the jig, then set it under the jig to press the gussets down onto the capstrip.

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing. This took away a lot of the trepidation I felt about the process.

Leaving them overhanging is fine. Later in you’ll put it on a bench sander (I used a belt sander upside down in a vice) and sand the outside of the ribs. You don’t want varnish on where the fabric will glue down. The pollytack seals it. And if not that the Polly brush. If you varnish the fabric glue doesn’t stick to it as well. If there’s any gussets overhanging they just get sanded.

Nice and organized! You might find it better for you if you had a work bench that was podium height and worked standing, I've been doing it and feel better as a result. Thanks and stay safe!

First I enjoyed watching the video thanks. Second what kind of glue are you using and what did you staple at about 1020.

I probably wouldn't have the full length board at the bottom. No wood at joints, other than parts of the rib/no glue caking to cleanup on jig parts.

Hi Tom. I really liked this build video, very clear and easy to understand. Rib building now seems very Zen instead of intimidating. I'm curious if you plan on doing more videos on this build?

Thanks Tom, can I use Birch 1/8, 3 plies for the Fort and rear spars?

Hello Tom, your work looks great. I assume you are using white wood glue and not epoxy? Any reason for that? I am looking at building the DE (already have the plans) and the ribs are very similar. I am following your build with interest. All the best. Allan , Durban, South Africa.

Priceless the way you blow off all the Cliff Claven safety experts. I'm sure the glue you're using will be just fine.
