Wings, Wing Ribs (Part 16)

Not much progress today, but progress nonetheless!  I clecoed all the Wing Ribs to the Left Main Spar, except numbers #3, #8, and #1.  For Ribs #3 (W-1011-R) and #8 (W-1011-L), I need to complete the riveting of the Flap Hinge Bracket and Flap Hinge Rib to the Rib.  The plans have you hold off on installing Rib #1 (W-1010-R) for the time being.  So, at the moment, 11 Wing Ribs are clecoed to the Left Main Spar.  



According to the plans, the next step is to rivet and bolt the Wing Ribs to the Main Spar.
