Brief Description:  

Finally pretty well finished up the foundation drainage, new dishwasher install, rerouting condensate discharge line, etc., so now I can get back to the ES for a while.

Late today I cut out all the wing rib templates, and arranged as many as I could of the 3 ply ribs onto what was left of a 3 ply sheet of prepreg used for other parts to date. The suggested layout helped, but my leftover piece just wasn't able to accomodate all ribs, so one didn't fit on the sheet. I'll get that one in on the next sheet.

Having learned from my experience with the elevator ribs, where the patterns just did not fit, I'm taking this phase much more carefully. Toward that end, I placed the upper wing cradles in place, and pulled strings between them so that I can verify the height of ribs before cutting.
