Magnum Fiberglass Butt Ribs

4 posts in this topic

Posted (edited)

Here is photo of Magnum Fiberglass Butt Ribs I got yesterday from Ron at ALL PRO COMPOSITES.

The Magnum is the only plane kit to offer these - At $50 each, they are cheaper than the wood ribs that Kitfox sells.   Kitfox does offer a "Closure Panel" that goes inside the wood ribs for the same price as these ribs, but I don't know what material it is made of.

These can be modified by a builder to fit the later Kitfox Riblett root ribs.

 Going to cut a window in these and cover it with Lexan to see the fuel site gages.

Ed,

You hit the Jackpot with the all pro composites guy!

I like your lexan over the fuel sight hole...mind if I steal it and take credit for it? :)

Credit?

I thought Ed was a "cash only" kind of guy...

Ron,

     Although I had this idea a long time ago, Kitfox shows the window in their "closure kit" - There are no "copyrights" in experimental, so each is unique in some ways - take credit for building "your way"....Like your "Super Bee" paint job.

Glad I may have helped - Please send some photos of how you close your butt ribs when you get finished.
