Brief Description:  Rib reinforcement work

Started with the tip rib after work today. The first step is to remove the thin Hysol application by the origonal builder. Second was to remove partial of the epoxy at the nose area of the rib itself. This will be replaced by a thick Hysol application.

Now that I have determined how much needs to be removed from each rib, we can now proceed with attaching the reinforcement one rib at a time. It will be a long process but, in the long run, it will give a better bond. A proper application of Hysol and clamping and the first rib will be
finished.

If we had purchased this kit from the factory the wings would have been assembled correctly from the beginning. As it stands now the right wing is a minor repair. The left wing will be a total disassembly and rebuild since we have to replace the front spar.
