Finished the ribs

the other sides of rib pair 107 is gluing on the table right now. the final gluing event of the rib sequence is drying on the table and will be put with the rest of the rib stack - representing 18 wing ribs in total - all made by me - awaiting the next phase - to start in October - being the construction of the one piece spar (with the 750lb all up wt option) - then the final assembly of the wings will proceed.

i have finished my first component set and i feel like an aeroplane builder - hurray for me and plans set 352

Ribs all done!

There's been an overlap in production with Rib Pairs 95 and 107 (the last wintips). Process goes:
1. draw up & glue jig
2. cut & wet overnight top and bottom rib pieces
3. shape top and bottom rib pieces to leading edge ply insert
4. cut vertical and diagonal intermediate pieces
5. glue all above together
6. dry overnight
7. cut out ply gussets and glue to rib vertical and diagonal joints
8. turn rib over and cut out and glue gussets for other side
9. simultaneously repeat steps 2-5 for next rib
10. repeat steps 6-8
11. start on next rib steps 1-10 doing step 8 from previous rib

I will get a photo soon of all the ribs laid out! So excited.

Next Looking for materials for the spar jig. But I am having six months down time from the project while I am overseas with work. Starting backn in Oct.
