Prepped the forward section of the ribs in the landing gear bay. This involved cutting and fitting the forward subspar which is located at the 5% chord line. This subspar runs from the root rib to the second rib past the landing gear bay. This ties up and strengthens the skin and leading edge area above the landing gear bay. There are two sections of ribs that need to be made. That is, the forward sections of ribs 3 and 4. Unfortunately the dimensions for this section of rib aren't easy to work with. See attached drawing for rib number 3. The box spar is the rectangle leaning forward a few degrees. What is the length of the section forward of the spar? It isn't clearly defined. There's a dimension from the centre of the spar to leading edge, but who in their right mind would consider using the centre of the spar as a point of reference? There's no way to measure from there. Similarly, there are dimensions that run to points on the rib behind the spar but as I've discovered with this build, not all pieces are as per the drawings. So to create the rib required plotting out the coordinates for the rib and making it longer than required. I cut it out longer than required and then trimmed it down to fit with the front face of the spar. Unfortunately, after many cuts, I overdid it and cut the rib shorter than it should be. So, do it again....
Used the thickness planer to make some more stringers and strips for the subspar mentioned above. I moved the planer outside to run it. No sense adding more dust to the shop than necessary. It was a crisp -10 C outside with a bit of wind so I didn't want to stay out there longer than necessary. Only made the pieces I absolutely needed.
Fit the leading edge strip for the outboard section of the wing. This required a bit of fitting, cutting, and sanding to get to fit properly and have a straight line for the leading edge to follow.
It seemed like I did more than that today but that's all I have to show for it.
