Was that kit in air conditioned storage? Those ribs don't all look the same size, especially on the trailing edge. Or are there supposed to be two different lengths?

Nice looking work! I built a Sweet Stik back in 79 and powered it with a first generation OS/Graupner .30 Wankel. It was a great kit to build!
