Wing ribs
3/14/2011
Had a little time tonight to work on wing ribs. I got the airfoil routed on the remaining five. I still have to route the lightening holes after cutting out most of the unneeded ply. They are coming out consistent and look good. The rib on the right is the original used to make the routing template. The template is second from the right. The first fully cut rib is in the middle with the ribs cut tonight to the left. The black marker is just a guide for roughing out the holes before doing the final cut with the router.
I'm using a Bosch laminate trimmer, which is much easier to handle for small jobs than my full-size router.
