The Super Whiz Kid was designed around foam wings and stabilizers which were available at the time. \u00a0The plan shows balsa structure for both the stabilizer and wing, and my short kit includes the ribs to build them. \u00a0Note that the plan shows a stabilizer built with sticks, then sanded to airfoil shape. \u00a0(Also note that the stabilizer is shown the wrong size and will not fit correctly in the stabilizer saddle.) \u00a0You can build it from sticks only, or you can use the airfoil shaped ribs included in the kit.<\/p>\n
My\u00a0stabilizer ribs are intended for use with 1\/8\u2033 square spars, 3\/16\u2033 balsa leading edge, and 3\/32\u2033 x 1\/8\u2033 trailing edge. \u00a0Then the stabilizer is to be sheeted with 1\/6\u2033 balsa sheet. \u00a0I suggest drawing your own plan on office paper, to make sure the stabilizer is the correct size for the stabilizer saddle.<\/p>\n
