Global warming at its finest. A March snowstorm in Alabama. Makes for a good airplane building day in a warm garage.
After aligning and squaring the wing and ensuring no twist, I fitted and drilled the root rib. Disaster! The holes in the forward portion of the aft root rib were too close to the edge of the rib. I don't know why but now the rib is unuable. I'll have to use one of the ribs for the RH wing and then order a replacement later. Mistakes tend to suck all of the motivation out of me. I'll regroup and start again later. Spring break is coming up and we are off to Disney, so this will nag me for two weeks.

Alignment rod indicated square and no twist utilizing the tooling holes in the ribs.
My package of pre-made shims. Aviator brand, of course!
