Fluting Wing Ribs

getting the nose ribs fluted

The last few nights have been spent marking and fluting all of the wing wibs.  With a little bit of work I’ve managed to get the ribs to lay nice and flat.

I’ve seen many techniques but what worked for me was laying the rib on a flat surface and beginning to flute at the high point and making further flutes to get the side flat.  Spin it around and do the same on the other side.
