I have read of guys using phone extension cords but it looked too small to me.
Yeah, I don't know why I asked that when i already knew they were (Brain fart - D'oh!
).I picked up some while my tenant was at her doctor's Appt. Thanks for the reply anyway though.
Today I started by gluing some sandpaper around the scrap piece of the heli boom I used for the dihedral brace, and used it to sand a half circle groove in the sides of some balsa stock which I will laminate together to form a channel that will be fitted into the wing.
While these were drying I went ahead and cut, fitted and glued in the rest of the shear webs.
Then trimmed and fitted in the brace blocks...
Finally I sanded everything down flush with the spar notches, glued on the top spar set a weight on top of it to let it dry and got lunch while it dried.

When I got back from lunch I fitted in the #1 rib that I had made out of ply, using a right triangle to get the proper angle (the build board is already set at the correct dihedral - the wing tip 4-1/8" higher than the root as per the instructions).
Last but not least I trimmed off the ends of the spars and turbulators flush with the first and last ribs and left everything to cure completely. Tomorrow I will remove it from the jig.
