I have stamped ribs with my D&E wing. I believe Univair ribs are stamped as well. I was not surprised to see some ribs warped from manufacturing, as many kit plane ribs often come. So it looks like I need to do some fluting. The all metal kit builders do this widely. No problem with metal skins. My question is, how does fluting stamped ribs affect a fabric covered wing? It would seem logical to avoid where you plan to rib stitch. Any other gotchas, tips, or don't do's?
Thanks again for any help.
