Instead of sanding the plywood gussets just before gluing the rib together, I opted to sand all the gussets at once while watching the tube one night. That will save me a bit of time as I assemble each rib.

I won a 1965 164 CI 110 HP Corvair engine off Ebay for about $40. I've also purchased a 95 HP engine of the same year from a guy in Milwaukee for $150. By the time these two engines have had the necessary changes to convert them to aircraft usage, they will be essentially the same - producing 110 HP on takeoff, and 90 HP continuous.

I re-lined the jig to replace the wax paper with plastic wrap, then made another rib.

I took a couple of ribs to the EAA 509 meeting. Several members looked them over and pronounced them good.
