Right Wing 408 rib prep (Part 2) continues

Tonight I fluted and straightened the right wing 408 rib (second one). I also inspected the joiner plate that I already drilled with the first rib,and it seems to be in pretty decent shape as far as hole location is concerned, so at least I do not need to fabricate a new W-423 joiner strip. This means that I can follow the same process I did yesterday to set the new rib into position and correctly drill the rib flanges. I will place another order from Vans tomorrow for two more 408 ribs,one more .032 aluminum sheet, and about 6 feet worth of .025 aluminum sheet. Why do I need all that, you may ask? You'll see.
