Brief Description:  Ribs and gussetts

"I manufactured the required forward root rib gussetts out of angle stock and drilled the holes to the correct size ready for priming.

I also measured and set up the left wing root rib which is angled to the other ribs due to the incidence with the fuselage as per the plans. I secured the rib to the angled securing points on the spar and rear spar. ONce I checked the top and bottom wing skin levels with the other ribs I then clamped and then drilled the rib and angle pieces to size clecoing as I went. this is now complete.

I also drilled all the rib holes and spar holes through the spar upto the required size for both forward and aft ribs. I then deburred all holes on spar, rear spar, forward and aft ribs, angle pieces and gussets and root ribs. A lot of holes.

I have now to prime the forward ribs and root ribs, attach the gussets to the root ribs. Once this is done the assembly of the ribs to the spars can commence, more rivetting. Then the wing skins can start to be prepared."
