Ordinate drawing for the ribs. 1st column is rib number by location. Location is going to be on a overview drawing, but generally will be numbered from the root outward.
2nd column is chordwise location, with the lower pair of boxes giving the Yo location for the upper surface and the Yu being the lower surface.
Locations are given in mm.
Rippe is rib.
Wurzel is the root rib.
Endrippe is end rib.
Bei Rippe 15 is bay rib 15

well worked 65 hrs this week so was nice to get home for the weekend. I worked some more on the P-51B trying to get the stupid fuse lofted correctly as the fuse lofts are what always kills me. for some reason the stab wings etc are easy for me.

Anyways I am fairly happy ATM with this but the center area by the cockpit is giving me fits. time to pack up the computer and get ready to head out of town again. I got a blog set up on my server as soon as I figure out how to get it set up pretty and how to post on it etc I will start a blog for this.

I will be working on the engine mount after I get the fuse loft finished.

Rob McCune if you see this post msg me I am sure you can answer a couple questions on it for me since you lofted it up once.
