Eli Whitney would have been proud.
Using a pattern, these nose pieces have been marked, cut, and sanded. They are ready for assembly into a wing rib. Doesn't it give you a sense of satisfaction to see these precision made parts, each exactly the same (within engineering tolerances), so Leo and John can grab one as they need it and build a new rib.
BTW, I wanted to let everyone know, just in case you haven't heard. Our EAA meetings are being moved from the fourth Tuesday to the fourth Saturday (at 9:30 a.m.) So, if you want to come out and visit, you will be able to attend the meeting, and then watch the guys in action as they work on the glider.
