Rib attachment

The ribs are attached with a loop of fiberglass around the rib and leading edge.  It's a clever knot actually.  When it's all cured up, the rib is held firmly in place.  I'm surprised how firm it is actually, so much so, I'm attaching the rest of the ribs prior to the load test. 

Above is the attachment at the leading edge with the CNC'd foam shells taped in position.  After all these are fiberglassed on the back and bonded into position, then I'll block sand the surface smooth and fiberglass the front too.

Right wing almost done!
