Sageelite,
I wouldn't waste the money on the fancy belt sander. To grind your fish mouths, you can use a pair of snips for .032 wall or thinner. For any thickness, use either a regular bench grinder, or can put an angle grinder in a vice. Both of these can be had in our Chinese supermarket here called Harbor Freight for under $30. Countless homebuilts have been built this way. You can determine all of your fish mouths very accurately with the web tool on Metal Geek:

Good luck with your project! That is one pretty lady you have there!
Bug66,I cant download the dawing "Piper Rib CAD drawing (13814)" in your website,please send me one.thank you.mailbox:sageelite%sina.com
 
In those days,I designed my own rib use solidworks,but I am not sure that is correct,I would appreciate for your advice.Frist,I find a USA35bMOD airfoil that is a PDF file then I translate the file to DWG file use a tool named PDF2DWG and leading-in Solidworks drawn my rib.I plan put wing spar through the hole pre-cut in the rib,the hole is I font pre-cut by a laser cutting machine,I think in this way I will not destory integrity of aluminum rib.Besides,I want extend the flap&aileron 4" then the width of my wing will reach 67",is it right?rib full.jpgrib full2.jpg

A long time,I have to deal with my job work and my family and made a big decision in last month,decide immigrate to Canda,because I guess I can fly free in Canda like in America,but I still love my monther country---------China.

Within ten days,I resigned and finished my fuselage(birdcage) spot welding in my evacuate parlour with a worker who is a certified welder from my company,I think two people construct much faster than one.

My family and I live in a 240 square meter apartment,that is 2583 sq.ft roughly,I have a very large parlour that can save money,if I rent a factory building will spent my CNY5000 per month,that is 816USD,can buy a set of landing gear in America.And I think homebuilt must built something in home,LOL.in this way,I am not only save site fee but also save travel expense(because the #97 gasoline is CNY8.16 per liter,US$5 per us gal) and time,can environmental protection and economical.Not like American most of them live in detached house,most of chinese are live in town house(apartment,that is very expensive I think).Although that is difficult to move a fuselage to frist floor,I have to let the fuselage down by a rope though the door on balcony when the accessory part finished.

Next step what part should I fabricate is optimal?I want listen to your advice.
