Default RE: Great Planes Rapture Rapture Full Build

Got a few things done today. epoxied the landing gear rails, made the wing jig, and glued the plywood rib doublers to the R2 ribs. My diving weights work great for this. Since these will be supporting the landing gear, I used epoxy. I had a tough time with the warped rib...I tried heating it with the iron...then tried steaming it out, and finally had to settle for slight warpage. The rest will go away when I glue it to the spars. Just waiting for the epoxy to cure before pinning the ribs to the spar.
