Tools you need or want…

NEED

I discovered while working on the ribs, that there is a tool I thought would be handy that turns out to be vital.  The Right-Angle Drill.

The pneumatic right-angle drill I bought at a garage sale turns out to be vital when drilling the ribs. Because the head of the drill motor is so small, you can drill the holes without bending or distorting the rib.  

WANT

Yes, this is a fun tool, and probably not vital to the build and does require a compressor and must be handled carefully BUT the pneumatic “Cleco Gun” is a great addition to my shop.

I can’t wait to get to the wing skins!

RIBS RIBS RIBS!

Not the BBQ type, but those are good too!

Progress is made. We started with wings because they are easy to store while building the fuselage. Following the plans is important because there are so many parts!

The current tough part is how do you mount the root rib? We have many steps to go.

By the Way, my buddy David has the BEST BBQ sauce in the world. We call it Uptown BBQ Sauce (Of course, I upped it a little with a little rye whiskey!)

Done with wing ribs?  Time for BBQ ribs to celebrate.
