Pete,
If I remember, I just pushed the main rib at enough angle to get the drill
into place. If you have two clecoes in and drill the remaining hole you
should be able to do this easily. If you bend the main rib flag, just bend
it back. If you do not have a Souix air drill, you might think very
seriously about getting one.
Hope this helps.

Also, before you are done, you will need at least one, 90-degree drill
chuck attachment. Get one from Brown Tool, or Cleveland, etc. with a small
size so it fits in tight corners. Cordless drills are nice, but they tend
to be bulky.

Pete,
I cheated and clecoed the nose rib to the spar without the main rib and
match drilled. Then I took off the
nose rib, clecoed the main rib and repeated the process. In both cases I was
able to easily keep the drill vertical
and thus make reasonably neat holes.
