Brief Description: Sorting out the wing and tank ribs
A fairly boring, but important, chore today - identifying the main and nose ribs for each wing and fuel tank, marking them unambiguously and prepping them for deburring and straightening.
I did some of this (on a few main ribs) some time ago, but decided that the markings - in ultrafine blue Sharpie pen - weren't obvious enough, so I got a good thick black one and made sure that each rib was not only identied by part number but that it was also clearly identified as to its position in each wing from root to tip.
I also made a start on straightening the ribs not already looked at previously (about half a dozen out of about 40) and checking that the flanges are at right angles to the web of the rib. It's imprtant that this is done so that the wing skeleton and skin assemblies go together preciesly, but that is NOT an interesting job, so I only did a few before, thankfully, it was time for dinner!
I'll no doubt be doing this on and oiff during the next few build log entries - don't expect it to be comprehensively described otherwise you will soon be... zzzzzzzzzz
