Brief Description: Assembling the spar reinforing plates , right wing

After predrilling and then priming the reinforcing plates for both spars, I then used solid rivets for the final assembly. I made up the angle attachment brackets for the five wing ribs that had to be cut back due to the laminated plates inside the spars. I then cut back the ends of the ribs that are positioned at these stations. Much quicker doing this for this wing, unlike the first one!
