Brief Description: Right Wing - Aft root rib - more pics
To get access to the root rib bracket for drilling I had to remove the #1, and later the #2 rib to do so. In photo #1 I have the wing standing, but the whole process was done horizontal. This photo was taken after the root rib was updrilled and cleco'd in place.
Photo #2 shows the forward end of the root rib clamped to the spar support angle. Photo #3 is the rear of the root rib at the rear spar.
