Memorial Day Marathon

My wing kit arrived just in time for the long Memorial Day weekend. I jumped right into inventory on the kit during the week, and proceeded to spend almost thirty hours in the shop. I was on such a roll I decided to take off work on Tuesday as well. Overall the left wing is proceeding well (I'm building one wing at a time). I've reached the point in the wing assembly that I was dreading. I'm in the middle of edge finishing and straightening all the wing ribs. It's not particularly exciting work, but it has to be done. I estimate that it takes 20-30 minutes to prep each rib. I'm about half way through about thrity ribs. I'm hoping I can finsih up the rib preps this weekend and maybe get into some assembly.
