Brief Description: Attachment of Ribs to Right Ruddervator - Part 1

Measured and drilled #40 pilot holes for 4 ribs and right ruddervator (25 holes each) Outer Rib - Located on the outside of ruddervator. Middle Rib - Located 19 inches from above inwards. Inner Rib - Located 37 inches inward from the outer rib. Root Rib - Located flush with inner part of ruddervator, closest to the fuse. The inner rib and ruddervator was updrilled to #30 drill size together. Found that using a drill bit that was much smaller that the pilot size made it much easier to deal with wondering drill head.
