The wing ribs were neatly laser cut making the job of releasing the from their sheets an easy task. All were stacked with the exception of two W-5 ribs. These two ribs will not be needed as I am shortening each wing panel by one bay.


After all of the wing ribs were removed from their sheeting I was careful to draw an arrow on each rib indicating TOP. It is very easy to make an error and install a rib upside down as they are not fully symmetrical! There are five different wing ribs which are marked W1- W5, which is why I have five separated stacks. I made sure each rib was identical in size and shape by stacking them and sanding them as one ensuring uniformity...
