Rib Sorting

May 20th, 2012 No comments

Oh the Work Required

Nothing to see here. I sorted the ribs per the plans to segregate them into stacks for each wing. The work to get to using these is extensive and daunting.

  1. Deburr lightening holes, flanges, corners, accessory holes.
  2. Straighten Flanges to 90°
  3. Flute to straighten the ribs
  4. Drill for conduit and accessory locations
  5. Scuff
  6. Prime
  7. Use

I hear the first 3 steps take hours each. Oh the fun to come.
