John,
Thank you very much, the picture is exactly what I what looking for. I had been looking at builders logs but couldn't find any pictures from just that angle. I understand why the angle changes due to the trailing edge curve but I still wasn't sure if it was correct. Thanks again for taking the time to post such an informative picture.

Hi Ed,
Yes, the wing walk will slope in toward the fuselage a little toward the trailing edge. No problem. You can see the angle relationship of the two sticks.

End Rib Bottom Wing

by Bitshifter » Tue Oct 07, 2014 7:55 am

I have my first bottom wing almost completed and am getting ready to complete the wing walk. My question to the group is the top surface of the wing walk. If I lay a straight edge across the top of my ribs, aft of the rear spar, it does not contact the top of the end rib. My end rib is cut very close to the full scale drawing and the bottom surface conforms well to the bottom of the wing. The top surface conforms to the top of the wing until aft of the rear spar where the end rib tapers faster than the wing rib. This will cause the wing walk to slant toward the fuselage near the trailing edge. Is this to be expected?
I miss Scott and his site more and more each day, he was a great resource.
