First Rib

First good rib off the jig.

Obviously at this point I have only glued one side of the rib gussets.

At the front of this rib I put triangular gussets per the plans. After looking some things over I decided to replace these gussets with a single rectangular gusset that spans top to bottom just like the rest of the gussets that go up against the spar openings.

I went ahead and epoxied the back side of the gussets so that later on the varnishing will not be as hard. The solid blocking for the aileron spar attach and the nose block are made out of Douglas Fir. I oriented the grain on the rear block so that it will not split as easily when i screw the spar to it.
