Foam ribs sealed in. My first time working with sealant without making a mess! The approach was to slip the ribs in, apply sealant to the skins and spar, then slide the ribs over. Much easier than shoving the ribs in after sealant was applied.
Trim tab rib. Upper surface sealant slathered on. Lower surface still dry.
Elevator rib. Sealant applied to skins and spar. I went ahead and applied sealant for the trailing edge too since I had already mixed up a batch. Will make things look nicer and possibly mitigate corrosion?
Parts weighted and clamped for sealant curing (we're building the saw horses for the start of the aft empennage).
