P. 06-05 completed. Step #1 is to radius the edges at the narrow end of the VS-1205 tip rib, etc. This took time, but went well. I carefully clamped the rib in the vise and then used a file to get the tips radiused. I'm not sure if I filed off enough, but I was pretty aggressive about taking the corners off, careful to leave about 1/4 inch around rivet holes. I think this went well but will trial fit parts to determine if I need to take more off. Moved on to fluting the ribs, which also was straight forward and easily done. Step #3 was to begin reviting ribs to spar, as well as nut-plates (see step 3 & 4). The diagram in Fig. 2 is hard to see in the right angle. However, by looking at fig. 3, as well as photos posted on builder's blogs, it is all discernible. Completed the V-Stab Skeleton Assembly. Next entry will cover install of skins.
