More of the same. I was going to cut the carpet and form it to the ribs and staple it in place but decided that was just a time vampire and pointless since the airframe is holding it in place.

Block and tackle used to hoist the front of the aircraft to aid in creating a jig. This hoist reduces the weight to 25%.

We had to put the plane somewhat down near the trailer with the main up so that we could get the right contour for the ribs. Reminds me of a B-17 with the main just showing.

Seeing how ribs 2,3,4 line up. Get a belt sander 4x36, you'll be glad you did. Mine is from Harbor Freight.

Starboard side of the air bubble fix on rib one. Used Flox with aeroboxy as a fillit.

OK now that the plane is off the trailer and on its own wheel we were able to remove most of the trailer hardware and position the ribs. We also used the main bolts to hold the first rib in place. The other rib was left a little lower to be located once

Wings on. Not really required at the stage. Just had to do it for motivation.

Here you see I used bondo on the shims and screwed them down into the block. The shims made sure the guide was level. Also note the hole drilled in the Aluminum angle and the shim. This is where I fixed the guide for the curing stage to ensure nothing
