Brief Description:  Right Wing Assembly

Deburred and cleaned, reassembled and riveted all of the the aft and nose ribs to the main and aft spars. This has placed me in a work stoppage waiting for the replacement root rib to arrive from Sonex. I also ordered two elevator root ribs that I messed up last year. I delayed fixing that until I had a large order of OOPS items to order from Sonex so that I would save a little on shipping costs.

In the meantime, I took some time to make a rib marking tool. I used a scrap piece of cabinet grade plywood, cut a lip into it and drilled a hole (actually two) to hold my Sharpie. Since the point of the pen changes diameter a few times I put some wood putty in the hole then pushed an old pen into it to shape it and make a tight fit so the pen would not wobble in the hole. It looks like crap, but it works really well and it really speeds up the marking process.

First hole was off slightly so I filled it and drilled on the other side.
