Ron,
Thanks so much for your comments,

****In regard to the half meter rib: Given a radius of 12 meters and  chord 
of .47 meter the calculator predicts 2.1mm of crown or segment height.
If the center of load support (high point and thickest part) is asymmetricly 
shifted off center of the chord, the calc cannot be accurate and their will 
always be less crown than desired? Still a bit confused.
