    Hi Raymond,

    No problem, I'll keep posting photos ! It is much easier to do the Beanie mod while building.

    Not as messy and with the wings off, work goes much faster. Enjoy your work.

    Regards,

    Hi Raymond,

    I'll send you the picture tonight but for the time being look at my blog post entitled :

    Yet another CH701 Beanie Modification !!!!

     

    There you will find measuremnts to recreate my beanie rib . Don't forget, those measurements dont include the 'L' bottom and top lips (add 1.75 cm for each) and should be fine. If I had to do it over again I would uses my beanie rib for the root rib and bothribs over the top of the cabin ...
