Brief Description:  Prep ribs and spar

I fluted the ribs tonight. First one I crunched the web every inch or so and discovered I had bent it way too far. Got out the seamers and removed most of the fluting and it worked. Found that it took very little pressure and only four or five crimps per rib to get them straight. Did all the main wing ribs.

Decided that before priming and assembling the rear spar I would drill and dimple it. I assembled the left main spar, ribs, and rear spar. I will drill, dimple, and deburr it, then prime and rivet, then put it back with the rest of the wing.

Tomorrow will finish the wing stand so I can hang this wing and do the right wing.
