Inboard Ribs Prepped and All Ribs Clecoed
I got all of the inboard rib work done today this Labor day. I also clecoed all of the ribs to the spar so I can match drill them tomorrow. I built the wing holder which i will modify later to have the carpet on it when the wings are completed. For now the sawhorses were getting in the way so I needed to have this to put the ribs on. I will say…. The blocking that they had for this craddle at the end with the carpet is going to be in the way. The wing won’t sit level in the cradle the height it is at on the inboard side of the wing. I might end up laying that up a few stacks high of 2×4’s to get it to be level with the carpet. I also had an issue; there were two sets of 1010 inboard ribs. One looked like it was laser but but it felt like it was thicker material but I verified that it wasn’t with a micrometer. It almost looks the same except there are sections where there are relief cuts along the flange on the part that I knew was made through the normal press cut way. I went with that one and set these aside for now. I should have kept the list of parts I replaced. I might still have it in my email and I’ll have to double check.
