Manual Reference:  Sec 14 - Wing Ribs
Brief Description:  Started completion of attaching ribs

Last step in this section is to add bolts to finsh attaching the ribs to the spars. Decided that I really didn't like the rivets on the inboard rib. The rivets were fine but I had opted to place the shop head on the rib flange for ease of riveting due to the interference of the torque tube bracket. Conventional wisdom is to place the factory head on the thinnest material (i.e. the rib flange). To do otherwise invites the thinner material to "pucker" and not lay flat. Well, that's exactly what happened. I realy didn't like the puckering so I opted to drill out the rivets and swap the orientation.
