3. When satisfied that W2 is secure, move rib W1 so it is seated within the top and bottom spars, but do not glue it yet.
4. Insert (shear web) SW2 against W2, centered on the spars and slide rib W3 snugly against the opposite end. Use a second SW2 as a rear spacer, and snug the rear section of the rib against this second spacer, as well. Then insert SW3 against W3, centered on the spars; and using a second SW3 as a rear spacer, snug the rib against the shear web. Repeat this process consecutively for each shear web and rib, working out towards the tip of the wing.
5. When done, fully seat both the top and bottom spars (Spar A) into each rib. To do this, make sure the rib cut-out is aligned with the spar, then gently pinch the spars together at the rib. Double check that each rib remains square – vertically to the jig base, and lengthwise to the jig rods.
