Finished straightening out the center ribs. Still need to straighten the tip, back, flap, and aileron ribs.
I pulled out my the rib stiffeners from the materials I purchased earlier this year and took an inventory. Definitely don't have everything needed. But most are accounted for including all the 5.75" 0.025" stiffeners needed for the nose and center ribs. Built a jig to drilling the rivet holes and processed all 70.
Next up worked on trimping the upward corners at 45 degrees to provide clearance for wing skin rivets and process about half the 5.75" stiffeners.
Plan for now is to get all the stiffeners made for the nose and center ribs then everything can be primed and riveted together.
