Today was spent working on the seat ribs. I cut 2 of the ribs and added the removeable accessplates. These will be used to provide access for the control stick mechanism. I then drilled a 5/8" hole in each of the 8 center seat ribs for snap bushings for the wiring. I then straightened 6 of the ribs by fluting the flanges. I finished the prep work on these 6 ribs by deburring and polishing all of the edges.
