Brief Description: Left wing skeleton prep part #4
Got the left wing into the wing stand. Used a bit of angle and a 1/2 inch piece of oak, along with 7/16 nuts and bolts.
I determined the area of the rib that would not be affected by the extra two holes, drilled a #30 pilot, then and clecoed the angle to it. The angle of course was scotchbrited.
Drilled both holes into the rib, removed the angle and then drilled the 7/16th hole into both the angle and then the rib. I then clamped the 1/2 oak to the angle, matched drilled that with the 7/16th drilled bit. I also added a doubler to the inside of the rib so that the nuts wouldn't damage the rib.
I still have to properly level the wing and get the sag out of the middle. Quite happy with the results.

This is actually the left wing, not the wight one
1/2 inch oak as a spacer so that I can get the wing skins on.
