Building the butt ribs for the upper wing - 5

Once everything was cured I pre nailed the entire butt rib profile so I wouldn't have to deal with this while spreading the epoxy.

I did not let the nails poke through anywhere on the rib plate.......yet!

Once the nails were all started I very carefully positioned the nose tip / cap strip pre-glued assembly on 1/8" bobbed butt plate making sure it was aligned perfectly. I then set it on the table and tapped on 4 nails on the back side of where the nose block goes. This helps in assembly once the epoxy is on. The nails self alight with the divots.
