I know I've still got a looooooong way to go to finish the wing ribs on my Bearhawk, but I've just got to share this.

Tonight I cut and formed the 170th of 170 wing ribs

I still have to cut a few lightening holes, prime the whole lot, and add the stiffener angles. But man it's cool to have the cutting and hammering done.

I think I need a celebratory

That sounds like a major milestone PK! And most of us here feel we have a right to gripe because we have to debur our preformed ribs.

Your updates are good motivation for all of us. Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys. Being able to sound off here helps keep me motivated.

Sometime in the next 3 months I hope to be priming and actually riveting something. That will be a cool day. The day I drive the first rivet.
