Flap TE ribs

The flap trailing edge ribs and the aileron trailing edge ribs are almost identical except in length. In hindsight it would have been faster if I had only made one set of form blocks for both sets of ribs. Since I have already shown these form blocks in the aileron section, I'll omit those photos here.

Here I have started on the flap TE ribs and have cut out the 9 blanks for each side.

All 18 flap trailing edge ribs have been formed with fluting applied as necessary. The next step is to cut the lightning holes and then flange them.

Here are the completed Flap ribs.
