I understand that support ribs offer the same
strength increase whether they are on the inside or outside of the pressure
hull. As I am planning on adding fairing, I am also considering puting the
ribs on the outside to free up interior space. Is this a good idea ?
In other words, is it easier to install the ribs when they are on the outside
? Are the ribs pre-made and then welded on or built right onto
the pressure hull ? I can't seem to figure out the ribs, how they are
made, and the best way to install them. My pressure hull is of a similar
design as the K350 36" x 1/4 " x 8'. I am considering a rib spacing
of 18".
Myles.
