11 - 20 Feb 2005 - Week of leave for Valentines, so not much done. Today got
the ribs mounted on the spars, matchdrilled, and removed. At first glance, they
did not need fluting, but after a closer look, they do need some light fluting
for a double bow in all of them...

Lotta ribs. Got to thinking about which ones go where and got a headache. |

Here's the left wing per the plans. |

And the left wing laying down. Of note, when building the left wing, if it calls for a -R ribs for the left wing, it's a -L rib on the right. Think it through carefully and it will make more sense once things are clecoed together. Thanks to the guys on the RV-10 Yahoo group for the sanity check... |
