Brief Description:  More work on the wing stands.

Another day spent on the wing stands. I installed the 5" support brackets on the outboard rib as plan 12A depicts. I clecoed a few ribs to the main spar so I could determine the correct spacing between support posts. Mine worked out to be 112-1/8". I used a laser gizmo to line up the posts and it all turned out better than I hoped. I have a car jack set up in the middle to take out the sag. (I hope I don't get a flat tire over the next few months!). I will wait until all the ribs are riveted onto the main and aft spar before I install the two lower horizontal support brackets. Next up is to finally prime all those wing ribs.
