    Default Model 4 butt rib

    I’m looking for pictures of the butt rib and how it is closed out in the front and especially the rear section. I if anyone has any good pictures of how you did yours will you please post them or I can give you my phone number or email if it would be easier to send.

    Here is how I did mine. Used some very thin (0.017") aluminum to make cans to fit around the spars and the butt ribs.

    Jiott That looks really nice. Looks like yours is a model 5 or newer though. I don't have that nice straight bottom edge or square tubing. Thanks for the picture though it does help with the rear section which his what I am struggling with.
