    Bottom of the rib has slight concave, compared to previous ribs. Pretty flat for the first foot from the front spar.

    The model IV 1050 and 1200 both use the same rib.

    I'm not sure but I believe one of the differences is the I beam insert is 48" long in the 1050 and in the 1200 they are 60". I'm not 100% on that.

    I believe the Model 4-1050 to 4-1200 increase was related to fuselage and lift strut changes, as most wing structure change took place between the Model 3 and 4-1050. Take a look at the history of structural changes outlined in post #3 of the following thread: http://www.teamkitfox.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=4375
