Got the ribs mounted on the bottom spare of the left wing assembly tonight...



These laser cut pieces are nice! In my LT-40 kit, about half of the pieces were stamped out of the balsa sheets so the edges were rough and needed some clean up. These SSE pieces are all laser cut so the edges are nearly perfect.

Each rib has an extra tab that supports the rib during the build that will be removed later. Hold the rib in place and a push in a few pins to hold it sercurely on the back.



Before I glued up my spars last night I tested my T-pins(left) on a 1/2" piece of the 1/4" stock and it cracked it since the pins were too large. Picked up some smaller sized pins(right) tonight and no worries now.



Drilled out, tapped and CA'd the servo mounting holes in the trays before mounting this and ribs 3 and 4.



Was given this tip from a few people on my last build. Drill the servo screw holes. Put a screw into each hole to create the threads. Remove the screws. Put a drop of CA into each hole. Make sure to 'pop' the web that the CA might create in the hole. Once this dries mount your servo. The CA will strengthen the hole/mount.
