Could someone please shed light on the step outlined below?
In Section 5.2 it talks about tapering the forward flange on all the ribs, but the picture of the rib shown on that page doesn't appear to have nearly the amount of material removed as this illustration suggests. It appears, at least on the topmost radius, that the flange would be cut away almost to the first rivet hole. The radius on the left would leave the flange to a very fine knife edge. Am I looking at this correctly?
Thanks in advance.
