May 17, 2009: P. 09-06 HS Ribs




P. 09-06 continued. Step 2 is to radius the edges of the narrow ends of the ribs. I used a file to do this and took off a fair amount of material because I did not want to have the rib deform the skin when applied. (Glad I did this because it turned out very well and the fit was perfect.) Riveting the ribs to the spar required the use of the wedge tool which made it easy and without scratching the ribs.

P. 09-07. Install the HS-1213A & B hinge brackets to the spar. All went well. It is important that the HS-1210 bushings be correctly sized so that brackets retain their correct shape and distance apart.
