Wings, Wing Ribs (Part 1)

Well, my stepdad left today.  With his help, we were able to complete the inventory of the Wing Kit and the Left and Right Main Spar’s.  His help was very much appreciated.  Until his next trip.....



The first step in Section 14 is to separate the W-1025B Flap Hinge Ribs (x2) into a Left and Right Rib.  Pictured below is one of the two Flap Hinge Ribs after getting separated.  I also did the edge work on the four pieces.

There are a total of 28 Ribs (14 in each Wing) on the RV-14.  The next step is to adjust the angles of the Flanges of the W-1010 Inboard Wing Ribs (one in each wing), W-1011 Inboard Wing Ribs (10 in each wing), and W-1012 Outboard Wing Ribs (three in each wing) 90 degrees to the web.   

The prep work on the two W-1010 Inboard Ribs are complete.
