Brief Description: Installed right fuel tank outboard rib
Installed the outboard rib in the right wing. I started by cleaning the contact surfaces with MEK. Add tape so the Proseal doesn't encroach onto the skin that overlap with the leading edge of the wing.Then I mixed up the ProSeal (2.2oz) and smeared it onto the rib flanges. Then its cleco every hole and there are lots of them. And start at the front and rivet your way back and then flip it over and repeat. Once that is done I smear the extra sealant around the edges and encapsulate each exposed rivet so it won't leak - hopefully! I'm getting so accustomed to working with the sealant that it will seem too easy to just rivet something together normally (without sealant). I'm happy with the results. Next step left wing tank inboard rib.
Carefully lowering the rib into place. Note the electrical tape protecting the skin overlap area.
