Mar 29, 2022 1.8 17-2; Prep leading edge ribs Category: 17: Outboard LE
Was somewhat dreading the deburring of all he wing ribs, but the leading edges at least were very easy - not too many nooks and crannies. I did try to shape the nose a bit to get rid of any faceting; the tabs are so small though I don't think it will be as much of a problem as it is on the tail feathers.

Used my flange straightening tool, but actually found that the flanges were pretty much straight already; really just focused on the tighter curved areas. Ribs required pretty heavy fluting to lay flat on the bench.

Measured the cuts for rib modifications and cut them on the band saw and finished with belt sander. Deburred and cleaned everything up including the splice strips.
