Apr 21, 2022     14-2 & 14-3: Left Wing rib fabrication and pre-assembly - (3.5 hours)       Category: 14: Wing Ribs
Started some of the light fabrication associated with the wing ribs. I cut the angles and spacer plates associated with the onboard aileron bellcrank. Went to cleco with the bearings when I realized those are in the one parts bag that was backordered. I'll have to check with vans to see if they're available, or I'll need to figure out how far I can make it. I think I can progress quite a bit without it.

Did some trimming of the ribs shown on 14-3. Was actually a little difficult to trim that rear flange off. Rough cut it with snips and then thought I could get the rest with the belt sander. Thought it was good until I saw the sander ate into bother of the flange tabs. One tab is probably ok, but the other definitely violates edge distance. Order a new one. Called it a night.

Picked it up Friday evening. Salvaged a new W-1012-R from the right side and redid the fabrication with a deemed cut off wheel. Much better this time.

Cleco'd and final drilled the aileron torque tube bracket and the flap hinge brackets. Got to use my 90 degree drill!

Cleco'd everything to the rib and double checked all the correct ribs were in the right spot. Match drilled all of the spar to rib attach holes.

Left wing ribs ready to prime.

Purchases: Van's - W-1012R rib
