Finished front spar prep and started on ribs: 6.5 hours

Finished smoothing out the taper cuts in the reinforcing angles and bent the angles according to the plans.

This digital angle gauge made it easy to get good bends
A good deal of time was spent trimming the front spar flanges and drilling relief holes for there small bend. Also a lot of smoothing the tight spaces on the spars to make sure no cracks appear down the road.

Front spar
Good bends
Also countersinked and dimpled the front spar for some flush rivets in the center section. The rest of the time was spent trimming and finishing the 2 nose ribs to fit around the reinforcing angles.
