Brief Description:  Rib Straightening

Took time to straighten the ribs for the left wing only to realise that both W-711 R and W- 711 - L as well as the W - 710 are used in one wing. So I will need to do all the ribs, just like it says in the instructions. When you read them you realise that they are right. I have heard it before that following Vans directions works and to deviate is to do things with the plane that was not intended and that the plane may not perform as intended.

I intend to build it as the instructions stipulate. I have found using hi lite markers helps to identify things like rivet types and ribs in the wing plans.

The building after work takes a lot but it is nice to see progress, next I will erect the stationary uprights to place the work on while assembly begins.
