Wings Continued: Ribs

After a long hiatus due to finishing of several rooms in the home addition, I'm finally making progress again on the plane. I've got all of the wings ribs constructed and in-place on the wing spars (see below). I still need to drill holes on the top and bottom of ribs for later installation of fabric. I decided to tackle this later, as I have obtained stands from Rans where I can attach wings and fuselage and turn in a rotisserie fashion for more comfortable orientation of surfaces for working on. Once I get the fuel tanks fit-up, I will rivet the wing ribs in-place.
