Sadly, no ribs or formers.

Formers are complete to me. Look at the sketches, they are triangulars. Very easy to reproduce with side and elevation view!

Airfoil is missing too. I guess you would be fairly well off with a Clark Y or similar. Also, you would need to guess the distance of the cabane struts where they are attached to the wings. I would reinforce this area a bit. The nose block and the attachment of the landing gear to the fuselage leave a bit to your imagination, last not least the airscrew. I consider this plan as a basis for your own interpretation of this charming little antique and not as one which takes you by the hand and leads you through the building process with no questions left to be answered.

In any case there are four Comet Dipper plans of various wingspan on OZ. Could be useful for airfoil (surely Clark Y) and construction inspirational.

The Comet plan for the Senior Dart (oz474) has a similar wing planform and shows the rib sections used. Given that the kits were from the same manufacturer I would think it likely that he same airfoil was used for both, so if I was building the Dipper 3 I would just scale the Senior Dart ribs to suit. I may even find time to test that theory when I retire!

Here's pictures of my Comet Dipper [main pic, 003].

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
