Warning: Boring post alert!!
I prepped and primed 3 more ribs tonight. I had prepped R1 yesterday (I numbered R or L then from 1 to 14 starting at the inboard rib). Today, I got ribs R2-R4 done. So…
I HAVE ALL OF THE RIGHT WINGWALK AREA RIBS DONE, WUHOO!!!
(There are still 24 more main ribs to do, then 12 more leading edge ribs and probably 12 more tank ribs.)
[sigh]
R2, R3, and R4 just after being shot with some self-etching primer.
Anyway, yesterday’s rib took me an hour.
Today’s 3 ribs took me an hour.
(At this overall rate…4 ribs in two hours, I’ve got 10 hours of rib prep left. At the rate of 3 ribs per hour, I have 6.6 hours left.)
At least I’m getting faster. (I’m not sure how many more ribs I can do in an hour, I was pretty efficient yesterday.)
