Brief Description:  Wing Rib Gussets

There are a lot of reinforcement gusset parts to be bent. These gussets once bent become the attach angles to the Spar and the Wing Ribs. The gussets kit parts came pilot hole drilled.

I found it difficult to understand the plans as to the direction of the bends, so this took me some time. I laid out all the Ribs and Gussets (aft and forward) in their order next to the Main Spar to help understand the bend directions. Each generally had a 90 degree bend on two of the sides. The first bend could be done in the metal break but the second bend conflicted with the metal break operation. The Gusset could be clamped in the metal break and a bend line could be made to about 30 degrees. A vice clamp and clamping vice grip were used to complete the second bend.
