Day 66: Nose Ribs and Slat Supports (1hr 15m)

Last we left, I had a bunch of l-angles cut, drilled and snipped so that I could bend them around the edge of the l-angles to make a nice curved strip. It took a bit to get the hang of bending and positioning the angles in the right place, and I will admit that I ended up cutting 11 strips for the 8 ribs. But I finally got it right.

I did avoid one trap: the pax side wings needed to be measured from the opposite end for them to fit to the holes, I worked that out without wasting a wrongly marked strip. Anyway, once the strip is drilled to the holes in the rib, you take them off and put a slat support in between them. Here are the ones for the passenger wing.
