Getting wing ready for the jig
I have been working on the spars and aileron bellcrank rib. The main spar is now all done, with the tank extension plate all bolted down along with the wing tie down installed. I have constructed the rear spar with the aileron reinforcing plates and rear attach point flange strips. The last thing I have completed is the fabrication of the aileron bellcrank rib and all the spacers/angles..ect. I now have to pull everything apart, debur and get it ready for priming. Once all the parts are primed, I will start attaching ribs to each station. I haved pulled the main top skin out and marked the centerline of all the ribs onto the spars. This way I will align the ribs to the skins that are already drilled instead of using dimension from the plans. On the last RV-6 I used the plans and got burned and have to redo some of the rib attach brackets to line everything correctly.
