Hello...


I am assembling my small horizontal stab and have noticed that there

seem to be a number of different internal rib / spar layouts.  My kit

is a 235 and will, at least initially, have a 235 installed in it.  The 

drawings supplied with the kit show 5 ribs and 1 full length aft closeout

spar.  The Lancair brochure of the same vintage as my kit shows a 320 

horizontal stab with 6 ribs and 2 full length spars.  Does anyone have 

any/enough experience with these different internal structures to 

advise me whether or not a deviation from the 235 drawings would be in 

order?


Any other suggested changes to the 235 horizontal or vertical tail

would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks


Bill Olsen
