A view from the tip end of the wing.  The ribs have flat bottoms so rib alignment is easy.  
The trailing edge has been notched to receive the ribs and the ribs are loosely on the spars.  

Aligning the root end of the spar.  Dashed lines are now included on the plan to indicate the spar end locations.  The fixtures used are from Bob Holman Plans, www.bhplans.com



Method of applying thin CA.  Small wire is twisted, leaving a small fork at the end.  CA is dipped from a small container.  I use an
