Rib attachment part 2

The leading edge fiberglass wrap has had a couple weeks to cure (ha, meaning I haven't been working).  Sanded down with a small block and 80 grit paper, it is great.  I'm pleased.  The rib seems firmly attached, which is the whole point after all.  It should also cover nicely.



I shifted the whole wing in the garage and bonded on the trailing edge.  An addition was a secondary support for the last rib, using the tip support.  It was bonded too, and lashed using a single s-glass thread.  Should be secure.

That's it for the ribs for now.  I really don't want to do them all before the load test, but wanted to see how that process was going to go.
