Brief Description:  Position ribs with main and fwd spars.

Today I spent a lot of time trying to figure a way to secure the ribs in the proper location between the main and forward spars. Clamps were to big and balky. I finally decided to use masking tape to hold the ribs into position long enough to measure and verify correct position. I then secured wood blocks into the build table to hold the tip ribs at 90 degrees to the main spar. I was then able to position the horizontal stab skin over the frame and verify that the pilot holes line up with the ribs. I am not happy with the process, I know there has to be a better method, however without the experience to know how to do it differently, it is the best I could come up with. Bottom line is that it worked and I am happy with the results.All ribs lined up with the skin. I pilot hole drilled and clecoed the ribs.
