I finally took a minute to go out and count the ribs hanging in teh garage today. Combined with the ones in the basement, I have 22 of the 26 required full ribs. Four more and I can start on the 16 aileron ribs — they are identical to the full ribs, but missing one geodetic brace. After that will come 34 false ribs. I’m considering (maybe) using 1/16″, 2mm or 3/32″ birch plywood for those, just to speed up the process. Haven’t decided yet, and probably won’t do it because of weight. We’ll see once I get to that point.
