Root Ribs


Joe just drilled this hole in the root ribs.

It is not obvious at first, but you are looking at two root ribs.  They are side by side (one on top of the other), and held together by a few nails.  This allows Joe to cut and drill both at once, making it quicker and more accurate.

If you look closely, you will see the small nails holding the two root ribs together.

BTW, we will not be working on the training glider project the rest of this month due to the holidays.  But, please stay tuned for more info.  If you like Christmas toys, be sure to stop back next Sunday for a look at a VERY cool aviation toy.  If you get one of these under your tree, you will have something special to smile about!

Merry Christmas!
