Construction of the Lower Wing Continued

Here we have all the false ribs in place and I have installed 1/16 balsa shear webs. The webs are not called for on the plan but I thought it would be a good idea to add them.

The instructions call for drilling the holes in the LE for the alignment dowels after the wing is complete. I thought that was too imprecise so I made up a jig to drill them on the drill press.
