Wing Ribs

Tonight I went to the hanger with some new tools. First, I got a space heater to make painting work a bit better.
 Then I started by tearing up some sand paper to deburr the edges of the corners.  The tearing I think make it tear further too easily, so I began cutting it into strips instead.
 While I was working on this, the paint tent was heating up.  Once it hit 70, I sprayed the pieces for the aileron brackets.

I also cleaned and etched the ribs for priming once the edges were good!  Here they are drying in the heated tent.
 Finally, I was given some leading edge jigs so I set up the right wing leading edge.  Here the two of them are sitting right next to each other.
