More Ribs

Mark, drill, cut and debur elevator ribs (T04-01, -02, -03,  and -04) and prepar for bending.  Also trim elevator rib (ends) along with remake of rudder horn rib (T13-04) because of small error in pattern layout on CAD plot.  Ready to bend all horizontal stablizer ribs (T04-xx) as these are all straight bends done with brake. Spend an hour or so going over videos on EAA tips for homebuilts rather than actually doing any work on the plane.  I’ve tried a handful of different ways to trim the sheet metal parts near the inside radius cuts and have yet to find a “fast” way to do a good job.  I might be nit picking a bit too much but want to do a good job at this base level of part construction.
