Brief Description: Attached the nose ribs to the right wing spar
I attached the nose ribs today, again drilling with the Avery right angle attachment. A lot of time was spent making sure the ribs were centered on the spar properly.
One thing I pondered over for a while was the extra angle on the spar in front of RR#6. I finally figured out it is for a nose rib mount if you are using the short-range tanks. I have the long range tanks, so it is in the way. Fortunately someone else on the Zenith list is in the same section and asked the question just before me. Seems I need to carefully cut the angle back without damaging the spar. It is not advisable to just remove it. I will do this trim work when I have the wing disassembled for priming as it is awkward to try to do it currently.
Nose ribs attached with space for the long range tanks
Note the flange just past the 2nd nose rib with black mark. It needs to get removed for the LR tank
