I have been getting all the ribs drilled to the spars on the left wing. I have all the main wing ribs done and now I have to drill on the nose ribs. There is a lot of brackets to make and drill to the ribs. Once all the ribs are drilled it will be time to etch, alodine and prime all the parts. Then I can rivet the ribs back to spar and put it in the jig.
I have also been getting some more instruction from my friend who has a Citabria. I am getting used to flying with my right hand but I still need more practice to get to that natural feel like I had when flying my RV-6. It just takes time. I tried some wheel landings and I got some work to do there. I need to get about 5-6 more hours in the plane and then I think I am ready for some Rocket action.
