Rib Work

Wow, so it's been a while since I've put anything new up, but we're still making good strides on the RV! No pictures to post today but since the last post we've finished the rear spar components and began working on the many ribs. So far we've gotten all of the ribs deburred and now all they need is to have their flanges straightened, and to be fluted. Tomorrow we'll be priming the rear spars (all of the doublers and the tie downs have been primed) and we'll hopefully get the doublers all riveted on.

Today I was able to continue the work on the leading edge ribs and got 14 of them fluted and their flanges trued. This process proves to be pretty tedious but I've found a good system that I'll be using to finish the rest of the ribs. Can't wait to get back to the project and make more progress!
