Brief Description:  Start assembly of RIGHT wing

I started on the RIGH wing because I'm still waiting for some replacement parts to finish the left aft spar.

It was confusing to try to reverse the left wing plans in my brain, so I printed an extra drawing sheet, and held it up to my shop lights, looking through the back side, to see the right wing parts orientation. I made some notes on the back side. That made checking the orientation of the rib flanges MUCH easier.

Started assembling the ribs. The instructions never tell you to cleco and finish-drill the W-709 nose ribs. Another case of bad instructions.

Note that the ribs will not fit between the spar flanges without prying the spar flanges apart with your fingers. You want to be careful not to scrape the ribs across the anodizing.

Once cleco'd, I numbered the ribs starting from the wing root, and drew an "up" arrow on each. That will help for now, but I will need to carefully keep track of them when cleaning and prime painting.
