Sanded spring back allowance and flute notches into the curved horizontal tail rib shaping forms. I need to redo one of the front stabilizer rib shaping forms before I can call them all done.
Decided to wait to make the remaining three rear elevator ribs on the brake until I complete at least one end and tip rib. That way I can compare the tib rib length to the front+rear rib length (w/ spar thickness) as there's a missing dimension in the plans.
