Today I finished deburring the last of the wing ribs. Here’s a picture of all of them. They don’t look like much, but there’s 40 of these suckers.

I still need to do the tank ribs, so we’ll see ya’ll in a week or so…

Deburring Ribs   June 3rd, 2007

You may have noticed there haven’t been any blog entries for a while. Well, there may not be any entries in the near future either…

I am deburring all the wing ribs, and there are a LOT of them. Each one takes me about 15-30 minutes depending on how many little bends and slots it has. I’ve done about 50% of them. After deburring, I still need to make sure the flanges are at 90 degrees from the web. Then I need to flute them and drill some of them so I can run wiring to the wing tips.

Anyway, back to deburring…
