HS ribs preparation

Tonight I took care of the HS ribs. First I trimmed the aft flanges of the HS-404 ribs to fit between the two front spar angles. Many builders say that one should trim less than specified in the plans, otherwise one is likely to get edge distance problems when drilling the HS-405 ribs to the HS-702 spar channel and the HS-404 ribs. So I trimmed just enough to make the ribs fit between the angles. If needed I can always trim more later.

The rest of the evening was spent with edge finishing all the HS ribs. I have to find a better way to finish the narrow notches, otherwise I'll never get through the wings in my lifetime.
