The remaining right wing ribs were attached to the front spar.

Attaching Right Wing Ribs (Part 3) - Final

We installed rib 11 thru 13 for the right wing. This concludes all the ribs on the leading edge of the wing.

Rib 11

Rib 11 was pretty straightforward, it required some extra rivets as expected due to it being the key pivot point for the aileron control rods. rib11-1 Rib 11 front view. rib11-2 Rib 11 rear view. rib11-3 Rib 11 top view.

Rib 12

Rib 12 was pretty straightforward as well, nothing special other than regular riveting. rib12-1 Rib 12 front view. rib12-2 Rib 12 rear view.

Rib 13

Rib 13 consisted of landing light channel which was painted a bit since it will be visible through the landing light lens. The assembly for the center rib and the leading edge rib was pretty straight forward.

Landing Light Channel

Landing light channel had some rivnuts for attaching the lights themselves. ll-1 Landing light plate painting. ll-2 Landing light plate rivnuts. ll-3 Landing light plate rivnuts. ll-4 Landing light plate attached.
