good old sitka spruce rib with Mahogany plywood gussets tacked down. Not-Functional, just the "fun" of wood rib construction. Not very inclined to make a plane using it, primarily lag reasons, but i may one in the future... maybe... (not likely)

    @MrSilverWolf Sitka Spruce is the most common species of wood used in aircraft construction, it is the basis for judgement on all other woods. Here is the link to read about it. https://www.faa.gov/regulationspolicies/handbooksmanuals/aircraft/media/amtairframehbvol1.pdf
    This is the FAA AMT airframe book. Wood species are listed on Pg. 6-7/6-8. Skywalker and me are working on a wooden wing in our class so that is what spurred the creation.
