Hello,

I am building my first plane, an Goldberg Eagle 2. I have run in to some questions and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The instructions where surprisingly poor, and several peaces did not fit where they were supposed to, so I def came across some issues and have questions.

First of all, the instructions said build this on a pinning board so that you can pin the peaces of wood to the draft sheet. What is pinning board? Is that a real thing because I searched for it online and tower hobbies does not sell something called this. It also said use some sort of clear or wax paper so that you keep the draft paper in good condition without getting glue on it. I used saran wrap but it moves around a lot.

In the low quality pictures in the instructions, the person is gluing the ribs of the wing in after they have been set in place. I have been taking a rib putting glue in the notches then setting it in place with the trailing edge and the center beam (forget the name). The glue dries so fast that if I set it down crooked, trying to fix it will often snap the ribs. Can I put the parts in place and then put glue on top, does that work just as well?

Lastley, at least for the time being...notice in the picture that the top beam is not flat with the ribs 2 and 3 but does flatten out by rib 4. The book did not mention this obscurity, is this wrong?

Alright thanks for any help!
