Carlson Aircraft

Wanted to purchase some experimental ribs from Carlson, but think maybe they went out of business. Wicks sells some of their products, but I couldn't find any ribs. Does anyone know if they have closed. If not do you have a valid email address?

If you look up the website, it shows they are now owned by Wicks. I bought extrusions from them in the past for float rigging on experimental planes,but that's been a hand full of years ago.

Hope Wicks keeps making their ribs, they were nice.

Give Wicks a call. Their business has downsized a bit but they are still there. Well, the aircraft business is, the organ company (which is why they originally got into spruce) is gone.

Just got an email from Wicks and they said they are not making the ribs at the present time, but they might in the future.

I've got a set of Wag Aero ribs for a Cub if interested, about the same difference as the Carlson's. I also have some "T" section extrusions if you want to build your own ribs.
