Brief Description:  Finished left wing rib prep and assembly.

I spent most of the day finishing the deburring, flange straightening, and fluting on all the left wing (and most of the right wing) ribs. It took a few years off the life of my bench mounted Scotch Bright wheel. I clecoed the ribs to the front and aft spar in preparation for match drilling. It all fit together perfectly. Of course I had to clamp the tip on to see how that looked. (I ordered the original wing tip style because I prefer it to the bat wing looking things the latest kits come with). Up next is to match drill all the ribs to spar holes.
