Continuing to work on the Wing Ribs, I separate and clean up the flap hinge rib and match drill them with the flap hinge bracket and the wing ribs. I also make the matching torque tube support bracket for the other wing. I also pull start marking up the ribs that need to be modified based on the plans and use my snips to trim as needed. I clean up the rough edges with my files and a combo of 3M deburring wheels as well as scotchbriht pads.
Overall I’m trying to be good and debur parts as I work with them. I also make sure all the part edges have been deburred and cleaned up with my 3M wheel and in those harder to reach areas my files and scotchbright pads.
Honestly this update doesn’t have a lot of meat to it as I’m basically continuing match drill the flap hings brackets as and to deburr all the ribs. This takes a lot of time, but I think it’s well worth it down the line. Deburring the wing ribs is more difficult due to the shape and small gaps that have to be cleaned up. I end up breaking out my Dremel tool with my cone deburring wheel to try to get into some of the nooks. This really helped get things cleaned up quickly but eats through the wheel pretty quick.
