Here are the final pictures of the jig in use. It is working pretty good. The ribs are all pre-shaped for this tapered wing. You can see the right wing ribs screwed together. This saves a fair amount of sanding. I sanded the top of the ribs and the forward part of the bottom of the ribs. Then I glued on the leading edge strip. The 2 triangle blocks I use to square the ribs with the rods so the ribs are square n inline with the rib line on the plan below. In the second picture I am using some LE stock to figure how I will do the main spar. So far so good.
