Brief Description: Deburred, primed ribs and began preping parts for
Ended up spending a lot more time working on spar ribs today than planned. Didn't get started until noon time, but with lousy weather for yard work or flying, I just kept chipping away on preping the ribs for the stabilizer.
Spent a fair amount of time deburring and using the scotchbrite wheel on all the ribs. But most significant accomplishment was in using the fluting pliers and seamer and straightening out all the ribs. Have not really done much of that before, but after some slow deliberate work on the first couple of ribs, I really seemed to get the hang of it. All the ribs are looking really good at this point and I think I'll be very comfortable when I have to tackle the wings in a few months.
I went ahead and roughed up, cleaned and primed all the ribs before wrapping up for the day.
For about an hour in the afternoon, Hillary wanted to help so I had her remove the plastic on a whole variety of pieces for the tail cone. She used the sharpie to write the part numbers on each part that had its plastic removed. If the replacement spar doesn't arrive from Vans soon, I'll probably begin to debur and prime most of these parts while I wait.
