Hi guys,
This is more a post for me, but feel free to chime in if you see anything that needs it. Purchased the plans for the II in April, and as of this weekend have finished up plotting the wings and making form blocks, patterns, etc to start making ribs. Gathered a few tools, and intended to do a sample rib this weekend, but alas, metal supermarket has no 2024. I will have to wait till I swing by WAS next week, or put in an order with Airparts. I would love to have ribs and spars done by the end of summer, but we will see.
I did grab some cheap aluminum from the old HD and used it to test a bit of the setup, and do a little deburring and fluting. At least it was .025.
