I have been looking over my 601HD plans and noticed that the rib forming blocks did not show the crimp locations.  Does anyone know where i can find that information before I begin making the forms?

For me, the crimp locations were not on the blocs.   Crimps were made with pliers after forming to straighten the rib.   For location , I drew the rivet pattern on a template strip, marked my desired locations for crimps and I crimped each rib.

Hi Nelson,

The spacing of your rivets on the skins should determine the consistent

position of your crimps.

I made a strip of aluminum 3/4-inch wide with a straight line on it and

punched rivet holes in it for marking the center of the rib and rivet

locations.

This was used to repeat drilling the skins for consistent alignment both

ways.  It also preceded crimping the ribs formed at best intervals.

That page shows the center section of my wing, but the process holds well

for any wing.

not the same subject..but I had a friend that started building a 601xl a  few years back. It was a 51% kit with all options.Unfortunitly, he became ill  after starting the “B”

 mods. An a&p ai has finished the plane and now it it ready to be  registered,but the owner has died. The family is now offering the finished plane  for some one to buy

 and get the final inspection and certification. The plane is brand new with  a brand new jabiru 120hp,dynon Efis-100,grandrapids eis,garmin tr sl 40,garmin  gtx 327 transponder.

 Everything is 0 time , the engine has been started and checked out. the  family is highly motivated to move the airplane and is willing to give someone a  great deal. Well over

 $60.000 in material alone . They are asking $39.ooo for openers and are  willing to deal. The plane is located at Sugar Valley apt near Mocksville nc.  Call me paul baker at

 704-664-2273. I have owned two 601s with over 400 pleasant hours in  mine.
