Free-Flight Basics #9.2 - Making A Wing With Sliced Ribs - Part Two - Conclusion

The 9th episode focuses on making two styles wings for free-flight model airplanes. Part one focused on making leading & trailing edge stock, and using sheet ribs, while part two shows the making and use of sliced ribs and laminated wingtips, as taught to us by the late, great Dave Rees. There are many, many ways to build & fly model airplanes. These films show how it has played out for me. Filmed with an iPhone 11 Pro and a Canon PowerShot SX20. Music via motionarray.com.
