Brief Description:  Left Wing Root Rib Placement

Completed re-fabrication of the aft root rib that I messed up earlier in the week.

Took a lot of time just measuring, re-measuring, fitting, removing #1 rib to verify it still had sufficient clearance, verified the wing squaring was still intact, etc. Didn't want to mess up another rib!

Postioned the rib, pilot drilled the rib-to-attach-angle holes. Flipped over the wing. Used a 1/4" rod thru the forward rib tooling holes to set the correct spacing of the forward root rib in relation to the other ribs. Vertically positioned the rib, clamped into position, and pilot-drilled to the attach angle.

Removed the ribs and the attach angles. Completed drilling the pilot holes that were hard to reach on the spar, then up-drilled all holes to #30.

Have to debur, then rivet the ribs to the attach angles.
