Deburred and Dimpled Wing Ribs

I finished deburring the inside edges of all of the left wing’s main ribs and then dimpled all of them.  There are over 500 main rib holes per wing, so this took about two hours.  I don’t have any pictures of it, but I also finished countersinking the main spars for the skin attach rivets.


I can see why people say that if they were to build again, they would opt for quick build wings.  The wings are definitely boring in many spots.  It’s not that each individual task is boring, it’s just that there are many spots where a task needs to be repeated dozens or hundreds of times. If the quick build wings had been available with capacitive fuel senders, then I might have considered them, but I really didn’t want float senders.
