Wing Ribs #1

I'm sure that I recorded some time for working on the wing ribs previously but I didn't have my post naming convention finalized at the time so this post becomes #1 in the chain.  It is the end of finals week for the summer semester so I figured that I should start building airplane parts again.  I reviewed and reviewed the anti-tab issues over that past few weeks and decided that I am going to rebuild the whole thing.  There were just too many issues for me to fix in ways that would make me feel good about the project.  The "updated" canard sheet showed inconsistent dimensions so I had changed the canard spar from 1120mm to 1108mm which was mistake #1.  Mistake #2 was planning the mounting holes for the hinges but not the control fittings before I started making parts.  My plan is to move the outboard hinges inboard which will require extending a couple of spacers on the spars - easy to do when planned in advance.  I have to place an order with Aircraft Spruce for the wood to cover my mistakes so will move on to some other areas for now.  I machined a template yesterday to check the dimensions for my wing ribs and it came out perfectly so I decided to start getting the wing ribs made.  I spent some time today naming, laying out, programming, and machining the ribs.  There are 48 foam pieces in each wing and they are all unique.  I was able to get 15 of the 96 machined today.  There are 5 ribs that will require a secondary operation to make an undercut of 7.32 degrees.  I need to label each rib as they are machined so I put the orientation of the parts in the sheet along with the names on a drawing (picture shown below).  As before, the ribs are made from 32" X 48" X 1" Divinycell foam.
