1.5 hours
It's getting close to time to start putting the wing structure together, but one of the last detail parts required is all these little spacers. There are 0.125" x 1/2" spacers for 10 of the aft ribs, and 0.032" x 1/2" spacers for 8 of the forward ribs. So for both wings I needed 20 of the .125" and 16 of the .032".
I started on the .125" spacers, and I found a sheet of material that would work. I cut one spacer out on the bandsaw and then I realized I had a whole 10' piece of 0.125" x 1/2" bar stock for this very part. So I cut the other 19 out of the bar stock! Hopefully whatever I needed that sheet for didn't need the whole length...
For the 0.032" spacers I just cut a bunch of long 1/2" strips out of this sheet with snips, and then cut them to length.
All 36 done!
