Hi! Fred
I was trying to have William NOT remove any part of the RIB . The wing
skin likely extends beyond what you call the RIB FLANGE. The skin is
what I call "fair game" for shaping . Better put up with some difficult
access now and extend the hole later when things are more permanent.
Regards

Bob,
What pray tell is the "close out air upper surface"? Is there a slight
typo in your post?
Are you saying that a "scallop" out of the top flange of the root rib is
OK? I certainly hope so, as one was required on both my wings for me to
insert the pip pins. I recognise that this is a highly stressed portion
of a key component.
