Since there are so many Wing Ribs to prepare, I decided to skip work on them today. I know I will eventually have to face the stack of Ribs, but didn’t want to do it today.
Anyway, I started today’s session by separating and preparing the W-1029 Angles and W-1029D Spacers into Left and Right pieces. The picture below is prior to completing the edge work.
The parts shown in the two pictures below are Torque Tube Support Brackets. The W-1029A-L and W-1029B-L are used on one assembly and the W-1029A-R and W-1029B-R make up the other. The single bottom hole in each of the four pieces were final-drilled to #40 and dimpled. I also completed the edge work on each piece.
The Angles, Spacers, Torque Tube Brackets, and VA-146 Flange Bearing go together to make the Torque Tube Support Subassembly. The picture below shows all the pieces and the Subassembly clecoed together.
Finally, I completed the prep work on the two W-1010 L & R Inboard Wing Ribs and the W-1025 Flap Hinge Ribs in the two pictures below. Except for the two holes in the forward upper and forward lower tabs that fit under the Spar Flange, all the remaining holes in the upper and lower flanges were final-drilled to #40 and deburred.
Except for the same holes identified above, all the #40 holes in the lower flanges of the Wing Ribs and Flap Hinge Ribs were dimpled.
