Brief Description:  Add landing load reinforcement to rib

So, the design calls for two rib shaped sheets of aluminum to be added to the outside ribs of the center spar. The drawing isn't clear as to if the additional pieces are to be added to the inside or outside angle the rib itself mounts to so I tried it on the inside and uncovered some issues with that approach and decided the outside answer would be the way for me. To alleviate any future problem that may come about when adding the skins, I opted to jig the rib perpendicular to the spar. This required new rivet locations and they were then added.
