Time to fit the F-6111 Ribs
Coming back fully charged from a week at AirVenture 2009, I'm ready to really "Gitter' done" on my RV. BUT, the next step is to fit the F-6111 ribs, which is a real head-scratcher. The instructions weren't much help, and I have to admit that after I got these dudes fitted, I wouldn't know how to describe their installation either. Here, in this first picture, I've pulled the rib out to the edge of the top skin just to get an idea of how this rib is going fit in the curve of the skin.
