Wing Ribs-Update

Where's the trailing edge?

"Hey John, did you forget something? Where is the trailing edge.  That is going to create lots of drag!"

"Not to worry, Alan, it is supposed to look like that.  It is a rib that will have an aileron mounted to it."

"Oh, right, I was just checking to see if you knew that."

As you can see, the latest ribs being produced now have a stub where the trailing edge normally resides, and yes, that is where the aileron will be mounted; progress is being made.

P.S. This is Oshkosh week.  Yippee!  See you there.
