Folken,
I have been reviewing the drawings and the websites of everyone that I can find that have come before me, and I feel I'm missing something.
Looking at drawing 6-w-00 it gives the basic layout of the ribs for the right wing.
From what I can tell, not all the nose ribs are the same. The third nose rib appears to have the flanges point the opposite of the rest.
It also looks like from 6-w-6 that the lightening hole flanges on rear rib # 7 are opposite to the rib flanges.
Finally, although it isn't explicitly stated anywhere that I can find, I would assume that the left wing is a mirror of the right?
I hope I have captured all the "gotchas" so I can get the wing rib forms finished.

Lee,
That nose rib is opposite so that the web of the rib is toward the fuel tank, not the flanges.

Lee,
Sounds like ya got most of em. Also the main spar end of the nose ribs and rear rib 9 are not all trimmed the same.

Is this also true? The flanges of 6w6-1 on the right wing is bent to the right, and 6w6-1 on the left wing would be bent to the left?
Sorry to beat this dead horse, but rather the horse be dead than I.

Structurally, the two wings are mirror images of each other.
