Wing Skeleton 2
Another view of right wing - getting ready to fit skin. Spar & rear channel are both dead straight.

One thing I had to do on the main spar was unbolt one of the L brackets that was covering the holes for one of the 1st 3 ribs (can't remember which one - but I'll have to do it on the LH wing too)

If you mean the stiffeners on the 1st 4 ribs - I riveted those before I put the skeleton together - otherwise, maybe my kit was different - every single rib station came pre-drilled to A5 in both front & rear spars... so I just lined up my blueline and drilled from the front... or am I missing something yet to come?

Looks familiar! Don't you love drilling and riveting in between those inboard ribs?
