Working on the main spar

I have been hard at it, working on getting the main ribs drilled and attached to the front spar. There are 14 wing ribs and 7 nose ribs to drill onto the spar. There is also lots of angles to fab and drill to the ribs. Several have to step over the flange strips to attach to spar web. The angles get bolted to the strips and then riveted to the ribs. They also act as stiffeners to keep the spar from twisting. It's no wonder the wings are rated for 9 G's-they are hell for stout. I have also been thinking on how to attach the nose ribs since I moved the gas tank outboard one rib bay. I'll get it but you have to sit there and stare at it for while to get it all worked out in your head. Once this is done, the rest will be easy.
I have been doing this all on my bench instead of trying to set it up in the jig and do one rib at a time. This is way easier. Once all the ribs are drilled, I will prime them, rivet on the all the angles to the ribs, then bolt them to the wings. I will then take the skeleton and mount it in the jig and get it all plumbed up.
