Title: Rib 1 Right Wing
LIttle background...... I finished Hysoling the left rib 1 stack and posted on the Kitfox forum in my build log there. A person who has completed his Kitfox (and it's really well done) commented asking if I had glued the stack up with the wing attached to the fuselage. I indicated that I hadn't and he told me that his brother who is also building a Kitfox and glued his Rib 1 stack up without attaching the wing to the fuselage and it flexed the spars a bit causing them not to fit when they tried to attach the wings. Fast trip down to the shop to measure. The ruler said I was OK but the wife and I swung the left wing to the fuselage and it fit. Figured I may have ducked the bullet on that one but wasn't going to take the chance so I spent yesterday coming up with the supports required to hang the wing and work on the project. Made two stands, prepared the ribs of the stack for attachment and today, we hung the right wing on the fuselage and Hysol'd in the first rib of the stack.
