Ribs onto Spar

After several weeks, I finally put in enough time to get ALL the ribs deburred and straightened.  I did the ribs for both the left and right wings.  Figured I’d get them all done, even though my plan is to complete one wing at a time.  So now the fun begins again.  The first photo shows the first main rib attached to the left spar; followed by the rest!

I then tipped the wing horizontally, and began to cleco the nose ribs into place.  Once I was comfortable with their fit, I then cleaned, primed, and riveted each rib to the spar. 

Several days later … we now have a spar full of ribs!  It is starting to look like a wing!
