Upper Right Wing - Tip Rib and Tip Bow Braces


 Building the tip rib went about the same as the last wing.  I fit the end of the rib capstrips an glued the rib in place.  The vertical sticks were glued to the spar. 
 Once the glue was set the corner gussets, at the spars, were added.  The bracing sticks and their gussets were cut to fit, and glued in place.



The lower rib stringer and the filler blocks along the bottom of the rear spar were finished.

I still need to add the upper rib stringer and a couple filler blocks on the top of the rear spar, and carve the tip bow to shape.  I think I'll move the wing to the driveway to do that.  I made a sawdust mess in the shop last time.
