Got a couple more false ribs glued up, now I’m waiting for the epoxy to cure. I also unrolled the plans to get a good look at the wing layouts, and re-read the instructions for building wing ribs. The instructions say to make 42 main ribs (I have 43) and 37 false ribs. These two make 20, or it could be 21 if I cut down the extra main rib. I’ll just keep making them and see what happens. I really need to get that second jig back on the bench so I can do 3 at a time.
I’m not dead…
Believe it or not, I have not abandoned or stopped building this project. I haven’t done much (OK, much of anything) over the past… good lord, has it been THREE years? Oof. That’s horrible. But, other things do take priority. I also don’t really have a place to go any further than completing wing ribs at the moment. That said, I have gotten back into things in a limited fashion by testing the epoxy stock and completing another false rib. I want to at least get all of those finished and start figuring out where I can set up a 4×8 work area to start on the tail.
