| Ribs |
 |
 |
| I normally do not work on the plane on the Sunday my wife and I have off together, but I wanted to finish the aft ribs! All gussets drilled and cleco'd to #30. |
 |
| My Harbor Frieght cordless screwdriver all ready broke! I just happend to have a Craftsman cordless screwdrive that worked just perfectly for deburring those holes. |
 |
| Finished with all the ribs, forward & aft, that require a gusset... After trying to figure out what to do next, I ran across the Root Rib drawings. It looks like they will also require a gusset. They are mounted different then the other ribs, so I will wait and do those once I fit all the ribs on the main spar. Do not underestimate the work required to put these gussets on. Took dad and I approx. 15 hours, together. I did reach another milestone, though..... |
