Re: [ULF-1] Ulf-1 Digest, Vol 70, Issue 4
I need to order the plans . I just got here really today . I used a sharp knife on what I'm making today . Its an ultralight. It uses something i call a center section wareen truss instead of monocoque leading edge . The leading and trailing edges are built like ribs , in a jig , and fastened to the center section of the wing , which is a truss - spar structure . .
