    Assembled the center structure of the wings horizontally on the table. Then mounted them in a vertical jig for the addition of nose and back ribs. This will soon lead to welding of the steel parts which go into the wings. Here's a short slideshow/video which shows some details. https://youtu.be/tl4iSH3ONI8​

      One builder years ago was a mill wright. He used string going thru the jig holes at the front of the nose rib to align them prior to match drilling them to the attach angles.

    Great progress Frank. The wings look great. I have started working on my ribs. I am putting the stiffener angels on the flange side of the ribs. I dont know if the makes any difference which side they go on? Frank I am going to send your space back to you. Thanks for sending them. I will not be able to use the as I have decided to make my spar caps in one piece. I also plan to sell 2 more sets of one piece spar caps ill be making along with my set of spar caps. I look forward to seeing your progress.
