This tool is important because the wing has a lot of big ribs that would take forever to check and straighten with the hand seamers.
Works great!

Built rib flange straightener: 2.5 hours
Since I was waiting on my special order drill guide for the elevator horns I went ahead and got my rib flange straightener built. This simple device allows you to quickly and accurately make sure all the rib flanges are at 90 degrees. They are normally a little less than 90 as a by product of the forming process.
