So quick question. Why are the most oboard ribs (712's) facing in. Seems they'd be far easier to rivet the skins on if the flanges were outboard, could squeeze'em in under 2 minutes each with the pneumatic?? Now I'm sure there's a perfectly obvious reason that I'm too dumb to get so somebody please enlighten me??
My search for "712" didn't turn up a similar thread so hopefully I'm not duplicating?
Now if for some reason they don't have to face in, swapping right for left wing 712 would be an easy switch as far as I can tell.
Just riveted my ribs to spars on one side and about to do the other. It's fun to be making progress again after my involuntary 3 month Army summer vacation. Yea!!!!! building again!!!!!!!!! And before anyone gets worried, I know you leave the 712's free on the main spar until later, so it's still just clecoed on the wing I have riveted.
Thanks all.
