Brief Description:  Right Wing - last 2 ribs + bell crank

Finished installing the last 2 ribs. That makes all 12 of the primary ribs. There is still the (real) root rib, but that comes in a later step when things are better aligned.

So I went onto the aileron bellcrank assembly. The assembly itself and all associated parts have been made for months now, but now I get to assemble them onto rib #9. I got everything laid out an updrilled for rivets, except for the 4 little angles that go at the top/bottom of the long angles on the opposite face of the rib. They will later be riveted to the aircraft skin for extra support against the forces placed on the bellcrank by heavy handed pilots!
