Rib Nose Pieces



Dick is sanding a rib nose piece on an oscillating spindle sander.

Careful, slow is good.

The nose piece was cut on a jig saw, then sanded on the oscillating spindle sander.  It is important to be careful because the speed of the sander, combined with the up and down oscillating action, will remove lots of wood very fast. Dick is using very gentle pressure to remove the last little bit so the nose piece is the exact needed size.

There are only four more ribs to be built, then the spars will need to be ordered to continue completion of the wing.
