Completed wing rib prep - 8 Hours

Another stellar day on the project, I fluted all of the wing ribs. The leading edge and tank ribs where a tad tricky, but the wing ribs themselves were pretty easy. The only ribs that I didn't flute was the W-708 ribs. I will need to locate the holes in the ribs in order to find the proper area to flute.


Once the fluting was done, I grabbed the dremel tool and finished deburring the nooks and crannies of the wing ribs. I used a 1" square cut from Maroon Scotchbrite and screwed it to the mandrel on the dremel. Worked like a charm!

After that was done, I ran over to Home Depot and picked up a few supplies to build the wing cradle.
