This is proper aircraft building - look mom a rib

Okay, I know I have made about thirty parts for this Jodel already, all of metal and still to be finished off. However this is the rib jib for one of the seven rudder ribs. Its the first wood part I have made and to me marks the start of the airframe and that means I have now built the first proper part. So from Idea to first part construction only took about 2 years... lets hope the other parts come along a bit quicker.

The rib is made from 12mm by 6.5mm stika spruce. It is held by three pieces of 1.5mm GL1 birch plywood.

The Jig is consrtucted for a flat piece of pine with the rib dimension transferred to it, covered in plastic and then blocks are used to locate the main structures. Its then glued with Aerodux and clamped.
