Ribs are cut with small 'vent' holes to alleviate the 'ballooning' issue when film covering and ribs are also cut with ‘pop-out’ servo wire holes to allow separate wing servos. Unlike the originals, ribs are cut to suit their locations for ailerons, there is no trimming required!

History: The Nieuport 17 was not a biplane, not a monoplane but a sesquiplane with the bottom wing half the top wing's area. The Nieuport 17 was one of the classic fighters of the First World War. It reached the French front in March 1916 and was adopted by the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service because of its superiority to any British-designed aircraft then in service.
