Frost Again!

I had planned on working outside on the blow down limbs, but when I saw the frost on the roof this morning I changed my mind.
The hexacopter has never worked right in the GPS loiter mode.  I was trying to program the flight controller, the GPS stopped working and got hot.  It has always drifted more than the others I have so it looks like I will have to get a new one.
Since I couldn't do any more on the wing until the wiring gets here I rearranged the shop so I could clean off the building board and store the wing in a safe place.  I had it perched on the treadmill for a while but I decided that was a bad spot for it.  After clearing off the East bench I had room for it there.
With the building board clean, I started on the first step of building the ailerons.  While I was marking the rib locations I was surprised to find out I will have to make up 52 of them as they go on both sides of the aileron.
