Brief Description: Channels for tail & fuselage + wing nose rib

Layed out, cut and drilled (still need to bend): - T12-03 - T12-08 - F07-05 Made my first complete wing nose rib (W15-05): bent & fluted. Received my rivet kit from Sonex today. Something like 9,000 of them!

Rib does not sit flat after bending, even with the flutes started.

But after carefully enlarging the flutes, it all sits nice 'n' flat.

One down, 35 to go!
