Modified wing rib jig for aileron bay ribs

1.0

wing

DETAIL:

I modified the wing rib jig today.  After building the required 14 standard ribs it's necessary to build 14 aileron bay and aileron ribs.  The jig is basically the same except for about 4 inches aft of the rear spar to the trailing edge.  I'm going to build the ribs complete like the first 14 but then cut the aileron rib section off after.  That way I can assure a smooth transition from wing rib to aileron rib.  I'll number the wing ribs and aileron ribs to keep them together after they have been cut since no two ribs are EXACTLY the same.

 The green tape??  Hey, it's all I had on hand!
