I'll do my best to bring some to ya buddy.... Maybe I can get a whole kit going by then.... 
paul, bringing stuff to nashville?
Hey, Paul, can you bring me 1/2 dozen nylon gear blocks to nashville?
And is there any way I can buy a set of mojo ribs? I don't have any tapered templates and don't know how to computer do them. just need something to trace around. paper templates fine, really doesn't have to be the same wing, I just need a set of tapered ribs so I don't have to keep building constant chord stuff!
I guess I could go to the copy store and copy ribs reducing by 5 % each time? or I could just hit you up for some!
no hurry, either, just throw the stuff in the car on your way over if you think about it. thanks, wildfred-a.k.a. Ron "armadillo" Ferrer.

thanks, guys! will have to try that program... I have a hard time with stuff like that, don't hardly use plans, either; the corsair was laid out with a few lines drawn on my table am starting another plane now, making nose with hardwood bearers and doublers but plug in like the burrito; my edgy works ok but the plywood is crushing (the s.t. holes really close to the edge) and it vibrates a lot with the longer nose, have sheared a couple bolts. drew spacer on 1/2" sheet, but 3/8" woulda worked better with bearers on the 3/8 side. but I used 1/32" doublers and am just going to make wing opening 9/16. not much diff in weight, whole fuse was 4 oz. before doublers, which is about right. I liked paul's laminated top, made whole top of mine laminated and moved canopy forware and put extra strips in front part, as I have a hard time grabbing most of my profiles. will post pix soon.
I scratched my original idea of a big flying pink pecker with balls for a rudder as I didn't want to advertise for a certain website....

I would do it, but don't have the patience to glue all those thousands of curly threads to the rudder...
