Brief Description:  Full check-assembled HS forward and rear spars

Now that the reinforcing angles and spar webs have all been bent to the appropriate angle, it's possible to check assemble the entire HS skeleton.

All parts that can be cleco'd together (rear spar, forward spar, tip ribs and centre ribs) were put together - a surprisingly firm assembly - and then I placed the inner ribs in place to see how they fitted. These latter ribs do not have punched rivet holes, and will eventually be drilled in situ - so it's not yet possible to cleco them to the structure.
