Brief Description: Rib Repairs and Compression Strut Work
I got another compression strut back in place along with its associated drag/anti-drag wires. Also, I worked on the ribs that were involved in my right wing mystery incident. These ribs were often repaired in the past, but not done very well. I replaced the splice material with the new thicker material and riveted the splises into place, making it a much stronger repair. Lastly, I fabricated a new support bracket to replace a corroded item that was in the tip bow area.
