finished HS-702 prep

3.5 hours
Well, after much sweating, looking up parts and gnashing of teeth, it looks like my HS-702 isn’t hosed after all.. The relief notch is in, all the corners are rounded, and all the parts fit together.
Finished trimming HS702’s, double checked angle on the reinforcement brackets on the forward spar, drilled out the last 3 holes on each one after the angle was done.
Countersunk angles, dimpled HS-702’s, then trimmed HS404 (or was it HS408?) ribs. The inboard ones forward of the forward spar. Broke edges (need to find a good deburring thing for tight spots), and stopped. Getting tired.
Next is to finish prepping the ribs, then begin the drillfest.
