To All,
I see this question all the time, WHERE CAN I FIND A WOODEN RIB, OR WOODEN WING SPARS? I have the answer for you...
I'm Certified FAA Airframe Mechanic building wooden wing ribs, spars, etc. for any type of aircraft that utilizes wood. Specializes in J-3 & piper series aircraft, tailorcraft, waco, mostly homebuilt or replica aircraft.
My story & experience. I grew up in a flying family, both parents were pilots, Father was also a commercial pilot and A & P. I joined the military served 8 years as a helicopter mechanic & crewchief, got out, worked as an airframe mechanic in Alaska in my families business. I started a Construction Company and retired after 20 years. I'm 46 years old now and decided to go into the worked I loved, building, repairing & working on airplanes. I combined my experience as a finish carpenter working with wood and as a airframe mechanic and the result is a rare craft, a rare breed as a aviation mechanic that works with wood... I love it. I've helped build many parts and pieces of many types of aircraft. business is good.
So if you have a project Let me do the hard work for you, only need copy of your plans, spec sheets, etc. I will build part, piece or whole, your material or mine. Attention to detail is our specialty. I have a full shop, wood steamer so we can do almost any shape or size. We can work out prices and material to keep your cost down. Let me know what I can do for you.
Sincerely & Happy Building,
Mike Robinson
