I had a Dr app this morning. That took a while. And then some honey does,ect.

But then I got some work time in on this bird. I got one spar tacked in, and all the ribs spaced out I borrowed you ideal there Gene. It worked like a charm. Made a small change though. A horizontal piece to align the ribs at 90 degrees to the spar at the same time they are being space apart 2", aligned vertically.



And now I have ran into an issue. My T.E. stock has a serious crown in it. It is 1" x 1/4" stock. To a lesser extent the L.E. stock is also crowned.

My inclination is to do a rather extend soak in water and then clamp it straight and allow it to dry for 12-24 hours. Not sure they won't twist as soon as I unclamp them though. But I guess I have nothing to lose.
