[Randy Reynolds]

Does anyone recall the technique for cutting Satellite ribs?

Greetings ALL,

I have a crude drawing that I hope helps with this question at hand. I tried to do the attachment but it is to big to post. If you wish to PM me please do so and I'll give you my email and we can go from there.

Kenny, If you will email the file to me I'll host it and post the URL.

Hi Dean,

As for the Satellite kits we are in the process of moving and evrything is all torn down for the move. I'll keep you updated.

Kenny,
as a past Team Satellite member i still have plans to the 1300, maybe 788 and the last series which was the high aspect ratio version.
i'm looking for the original 800 from the 50's plans.........anything still available?

I have a Hunter 1/2 A satellite plan that shows no rib profile except for the fuselage view. I purchased it from AMA. Am I missing a page?

Thanks,

I don't think you're missing a page but you could have saved a buck or two if you had gotten them from NFFS Plan serivce. Drop me a line at hsperzel@cox.net, Subject line: RIBS, and I'll sent you instruction on how to make those ribs.

Slightly an aside, but since the subject was brought up...where can one (I) obtain plans or specs for the higher aspect ratio Satellites? I have the GLH set, having built the 320, 450 and the 788.

Thanks,
Jerry
